“Can a fully SEC- and FINRA-regulated broker-dealer become the standard infrastructure layer through which Wall Street accesses tokenized and blockchain-native digital asset securities?”
Prometheum was founded to build SEC-regulated market infrastructure for digital asset securities, initially focused on operating an Alternative Trading System (ATS) for blockchain-based securities. The company secured Anchorage Digital Bank as its qualified custodian in 2021, establishing a fully regulated custody and trading stack. By 2024, Prometheum Capital obtained status as the first SEC Qualified Custodian broker-dealer for on-chain securities and integrated Broadridge for post-trade back-office operations. By 2026, the firm pivoted toward a B2B infrastructure play — offering correspondent clearing, custody, and trading services to other broker-dealers and RIAs, positioning itself as the regulated rails through which traditional financial intermediaries can access digital asset securities.
