Tzero Ats

“Can a regulated digital-asset ATS become the foundational tokenization and settlement infrastructure for real-world assets as traditional finance moves on-chain?”

The story

tZERO began as an Overstock.com subsidiary building blockchain-based trading infrastructure, operating an ATS for NMS stocks in extended hours. The company progressively pivoted from equities ATS to becoming a digital asset securities platform — issuing, custodying, and trading tokenized securities via SEC/FINRA-regulated broker-dealer entities. By 2024–2025, tZERO repositioned as 'Wall Street, Tokenized' infrastructure targeting real-world asset (RWA) tokenization across real estate, funds, and securities, culminating in the Lynq consortium for tokenized Treasury settlement with institutional counterparties.
