Arizona Tribune - tZERO's Strengthens its Institutional Infrastructure Footprint in Crypto Asset and Traditional Securities, Now Offers Correspondent Clearing Services to Other Broker-Dealers

SALT LAKE CITY, UT / ACCESS Newswire / June 5, 2025 / tZERO Group Inc., a leader in technology solutions for capital markets, is excited to announce that its broker-dealer subsidiaries can now offer correspondent clearing services to third party broker-dealers for crypto asset securities and traditional securities. tZERO's brokerage platform can provide end-to-end infrastructure for crypto asset securities to a range of direct customers and now third-party broker dealers that do not have the permission or operational infrastructure to self-custody crypto asset securities on chain. It can also support clearing, custody and settlement for both traditional securities, which is relevant to the evolution of a cross-asset universal platform.

"We are thrilled to be able to offer correspondent clearing services and to build upon our institutional product offering and to continue to showcase the value proposition for broker-dealer custody of crypto asset securities," said David Goone, tZERO's CEO. "We have continued to expand our permissible business activities to support an end-to-end solution for crypto asset securities. Our broker-dealers can now drive digital adoption by supporting other broker-dealers that wish to retail crypto asset securities."

tZERO's digital broker-dealer can clear and carry crypto asset securities for broker-dealer correspondents using different custodial wallet infrastructures, including individual investor wallets and an omnibus wallet, and plans to utilize smart contract technologies to automate reporting, distributions and other compliance and utility features in the future.

"Becoming the connective tissue for the industry for crypto asset security infrastructure (alongside our Lynq project) is a major vector in our strategy and a major milestone on our regulatory journey," states Alan Konevsky, Executive Vice President and Chief Legal & Corporate Affairs Officer of tZERO. "We have continued to secure successive expansions of our permissible business activities so we can offer a true end-to-end platform that supports multiple asset classes, including tokenized RWAs. This approval invites institutional participants to our platform, including through API connectivity, and should be a catalyst for supply-side asset growth and demand-side liquidity, as well as an important path to complement our cross-asset universal platform strategy for investors and other firms as we navigate an evolving landscape."

Broker-dealer interested in tZERO's correspondent clearing and digital asset security custodial services should email [email protected] and ask to be connected to the appropriate tZERO representative.
