Congratulations to @The_DTCC on the launch of the DTCC Tokenization Service, a major milestone for crypto assets and capital markets. We’re proud that Prometheum Capital is participating in the launch of the DTCC Tokenization Service, and we thank the DTCC team for their leadership and industry collaboration. We believe DTCC’s tokenization model matters for investors and markets for several reasons, including: 1. It preserves shareholder rights. DTC-tokenized securities are digital twins of securities held at the Depository Trust Company (DTC). They retain the ownership rights, investor protections and economic entitlements of their traditional counterparts. 2. It builds on trusted infrastructure. Extends DTC’s resiliency, governance and operational standards into digital markets providing a regulated, scalable path to adoption. 3. It keeps liquidity connected. Because tokenized and traditional forms are convertible, the model is designed to connect liquidity. That supports collateral mobility and capital efficiency between both traditional and digital markets. We are excited to put this service into action. Through our collaboration with HashKey Digital Asset Group and Velocity Capital, we are working to extend tokenized U.S. equities to eligible investors in key international markets through HashKey’s licensed exchanges, with tokenized securities backed by assets held at DTC. This provides a regulated foundation for financial services firms to engage with crypto assets in a meaningful way. We look forward to building on it with DTCC and our partners.

Today we announced a strategic partnership with Federated Hermes, Inc. to distribute tokenized securities through traditional broker-dealer channels. We believe this will provide product issuers the blueprint for how tokenized funds will reach mainstream investors through the regulated intermediaries they already rely on. Over $14B in tokenized U.S. Treasury and money market funds alone are on-chain, per rwa.xyz — but almost none of it is accessible through traditional brokerage accounts. ProFinancial will support the distribution of the tokenized products, and Prometheum Capital will custody, clear, and settle these products. Any authorized broker-dealer that clears through us can begin to offer tokenized products to clients without building its own crypto asset infrastructure.

Tokenized stocks should come with ownership. In @CoinDesk today, our founder Aaron Kaplan argues that "wrapped" tokens, which track a stock's price without conveying ownership, shortchange both U.S. investors and U.S. companies. The better model is ownership-backed: the token and the share held at DTC are one asset in two forms, and every order deepens the market Americans trade in. That's the model behind our binding MOU with HashKey Digital Asset Group and Velocity Capital to bring tokenized U.S. securities to eligible international investors through HashKey's eligible licensed exchanges in multiple jurisdictions. Real shares. Real rights. Real markets. 📖 Op-ed: coindesk.com/opinion/2026/10… 📰 Announcement: prometheum.com/press-release… #Tokenization #CapitalMarkets #DTCC #DigitalAssets #CryptoAssets

For the first time, ETH has been transacted within a U.S. brokerage account. Not through an ETF or ETP. The actual underlying token, cleared and settled through Prometheum Capital’s SEC-registered broker-dealer infrastructure. This is what the pathway to mainstream crypto asset access looks like.

The CLARITY Act is stalled over yield-bearing stablecoins. Most coverage frames this as a technical policy dispute between banks and legacy crypto platforms. But there is more at stake. The larger question is this: as capital markets move on-chain, who controls the infrastructure, the distribution, and the investor access points - Wall Street or crypto platforms?

Prometheum announced an additional $23M raised to support the next stage of digital asset market infrastructure. We believe the proliferation of on-chain investment products, coupled with broker-dealer-led distribution, will be the catalyst that modernizes U.S. capital markets. This funding supports the rollout of Prometheum Capital’s correspondent clearing services for U.S. broker-dealers and enables deeper partnerships with product issuers developing digitally-native and tokenized securities.

When leading market operators such as the NYSE start building digital asset platforms, it signals more than innovation — it signals foundational infrastructure transition. The focus has shifted from if digital markets arrive to how they integrate at scale. Prometheum has been building for this future, delivering the market infrastructure financial institutions use to build and scale digital asset businesses. 🔗 Read our perspective here: prometheum.com/insights/nyse…

Prometheum has expanded its Advisory Committee with leaders across macroeconomics, market structure, capital markets, and fintech — including Nobel Laureate Dr. Michael Spence, Dr. Jimmie Lenz, Donald H. Wilson, and Jeff Mehan, alongside senior strategic advisor Dr. Arthur Laffer. As on-chain securities, tokenized assets, and crypto integrate into core market infrastructure in 2026, their collective experience will help guide the next phase of digital markets. prometheum.com/press-release…

📈 2026: Digital Assets Move Deeper Into Market Infrastructure Recent industry research points to a clear shift in how markets are evolving: digital assets (crypto, tokenized assets, and on-chain securities) and the blockchain technology that supports them are becoming embedded within core financial market infrastructure. Two analyst reports released this week and written about in @CoinDesk — one from Bernstein describing a tokenization “supercycle,” and another from B. Riley highlighting digital assets’ transition from speculation to foundational market plumbing — reinforce a simple conclusion: digital markets have arrived. 👉 Why does this matter? The migration of securities onto blockchain rails, and the integration of digital assets into traditional market infrastructure, is not just about new ways to trade or invest. It represents the early stages of a faster and more efficient market infrastructure built for the digital age. At Prometheum, this evolving landscape aligns directly with our mission: building comprehensive digital asset market infrastructure that supports issuers, investors, and institutions across the full on-chain securities and tokenization lifecycle - including issuance, custody, trading, post-trade settlement, and clearing. Today, we are supporting product issuers and broker-dealers as they build digital asset businesses on top of our SEC-registered, FINRA-member subsidiary ecosystem.

The SEC’s recent statement on custody of crypto asset securities does more than clarify the path forward, it signals a broader shift: On-chain securities are arriving faster than expected, and broker-dealers need to think about modernizing their digital asset custody procedures. We wrote about the implications for broker-dealers and securities custodians, linked below. Prometheum Capital is here to help you scale your digital asset business. We built our digital asset custody platform to meet the customer protection standards of Rule 15c3-3 from day one. Our infrastructure-as-a-service offering enables firms to custody these assets under federal securities laws, while also enabling broker-dealers to offer access to digital asset securities through correspondent clearing.
