“Can a fully SEC- and FINRA-regulated digital asset broker-dealer become the infrastructure layer connecting tokenized securities and crypto assets to mainstream Wall Street distribution via broker-dealers and RIAs?”
Founded in 2017, Prometheum set out to bridge traditional securities regulation and the digital asset economy by building SEC- and FINRA-registered market infrastructure for digital asset securities. The company operates an Alternative Trading System (Prometheum Ember ATS) and a Special Purpose Broker-Dealer/custodian (Prometheum Capital LLC), making it the first regulated full-lifecycle platform for digital asset securities in the US. By 2026, Prometheum pivoted from serving end investors directly to a B2B correspondent clearing model, targeting broker-dealers and RIAs as distribution partners for tokenized securities and crypto assets.
Prometheum's crypto products run on Anchorage Digital.
Prometheum was founded by Aaron Kaplan and Benjamin Kaplan and is founded in 2017, headquartered in New York, New York, United States.
