@tZERO is expanding its regulated digital asset securities custody infrastructure with support for USDM1, a sovereign, Treasury-backed digital asset security issued on-chain by the Republic of the Marshall Islands.
The collaboration is designed to help institutions:
• hold sovereign digital asset securities within regulated custody environments
• integrate on-chain assets into existing operational workflows
• access collateral designed for financing, margin, and balance sheet efficiency
Looking ahead, tZERO and USDM1 expect to explore broader interoperability across tZERO’s regulated ecosystem, including custody, clearing, APIs, institutional connectivity, and potential secondary market applications.

Tomorrow, @tZERO Head of Project Execution @etzoulafis joins practitioners from @balconytech and @BuildingInc at @CoreNetGlobalNY in NYC.
The discussion will be on: "AI and Blockchain Are Changing Corporate Real Estate – Here's What It Means for Your Portfolio."
@tZERO CLO @SavinoVaness will join leaders from @WisdomTreeFunds, @FTI_US, @InvescoUS and @LMAX at @TabbFORUM's Women in Digital Assets Forum in NYC on June 3 for a panel on: “The Tokenized Economy: Real Use Cases – Real-World Assets, On-Chain Capital Markets & Institutional Scale”.
@tZERO's @VerifyInvestor is now integrated into the PandoAlts Market Checks platform and has been named its default accreditation verification provider.
This integration embeds accredited investor and qualified purchaser verification directly into the deal flow, reducing friction for issuers, brokers, and allocators.
One-stop shopping. The result: faster verification, greater confidence in counterparty compliance, and a more connected experience across private credit, real assets, and alternative investments.

@tZERO can already tokenize, sell, trade and custody digital securities - and has been doing that for years. Our regulated integrated infrastructure stack is unaffected by this and continues its significance as the compliant end to end gateway to tokenized assets for a range of partners, including other financial firms. @SavinoVaness
Great discussion today at the @Jefferies Digital Assets Investor Conference, where @tZERO's CEO @Alan_Konevsky joined the “Tokenization & Capital Formation” panel to discuss the next phase of institutional digital asset infrastructure, alongside Alexander Yavorsky, @Jefferies; Carlos Domingo, @Securitize ; Jim Hiltner, @SuperstateInc; and Tom Zschach, @swiftcommunity.
Key themes included:
• the growing need for regulated infrastructure rails capable of supporting institutional adoption
• increasing global convergence around tokenized markets and interoperability
• the importance of AI interoperability within financial market infrastructure
• the evolving “flavors” of tokenization, including wrapped versus natively issued digital assets
As tokenized markets continue to mature, the conversation is increasingly moving toward scalable, interoperable infrastructure designed for real-world capital formation and secondary market activity.
Reach out to our team if you’d like to learn more about how @tZERO’s end-to-end infrastructure solutions can help your firm build scalable, interoperable digital asset capabilities – [email protected]
A new asset is entering our secondary market.
Beginning at 12pm EDT today, May 20, orders may be entered on @tZERO’s regulated ATS for tokenized securities tied to the intellectual property of the https://t.co/lXDNy0wGcG brand, with trading expected to commence on May 26, 2026.
Originally issued via Reg CF on our platform, these tokenized securities now move into a secondary trading environment – enabling liquidity and price discovery.
More to come as trading begins.

@tZERO will be at the @Jefferies Digital Assets Investor Conference in New York on Thursday, May 21.
CEO @Alan_Konevsky will join the “Tokenization & Capital Formation” panel at 10:45 am alongside leaders from @Securitize, @SuperstateInc and @swiftcommunity to discuss how tokenization is reshaping capital formation, modernizing market infrastructure and expanding institutional access to digital asset markets.

At Digital Assets Week NYC, @tZERO CEO @Alan_Konevsky joined leaders from @ArchaxEx, @DeutscheBank, @OpenAssetsInc and @PrometheumInc to discuss the next phase of tokenized private markets.
Key themes from the discussion:
- Utility/DeFi interoperability
- Secondary liquidity
- Interoperability
- Market structure
- Institutional scale
Execution is the focus as participation from institutional markets grows.
As an independent tokenization infrastructure provider that is platform, partner and asset agnostic, @tZERO's API suite is critical to our partners and business.
Institutions, broker-dealers, fintechs and platforms can integrate directly with tZERO’s regulated infrastructure through REST and FIX APIs.
The suite includes:
• Onboarding API – Onboard customers and open brokerage accounts on the tZERO platform.
• Primary Issuance API – Browse assets available for primary offerings and create investments on behalf of your customers.
• Trading API – Place and manage trades for assets listed on the tZERO ATS, with access to real-time market data.
• Custody, Tokenization and Transfer Agent APIs available later this month.
As tokenized markets evolve, programmatic access to regulated infrastructure will matter more than ever – alongside other integration capabilities, including white label services.
Build the future with tZERO.

The CLARITY Act is before the Senate Banking Committee yesterday. @tZERO CEO @Alan_Konevsky on what the bill gets right – and what it still needs to deliver for broker-dealers operating at institutional scale.

US venture secondary markets are reaching institutional scale.
A new report published by @PitchBook estimates annualized US venture secondary market activity at $112.2B and highlights how infrastructure, liquidity access, and secondary trading mechanisms are rapidly evolving.
Great to see @tZERO featured on the Venture Secondary Market Map as the industry continues building toward more connected and scalable private market ecosystems.

The Senate Banking Committee dropped a new draft of the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act yesterday. Here's our read and why we continue to support the advancement of this bill:
- On the ancillary asset framework: While a team's managerial efforts continue, sales of ancillary assets by that team are deemed investment contracts, and thus securities transactions, even though the assets themselves remain digital commodities. This means the "transaction" is regulated as a securities transaction, while the "asset" retains its commodity character once decentralized. This is great for tZERO; it creates an explicit, statutory role for broker-dealers to facilitate those investment contract transactions. @tZERO is built for exactly this.
- On BD licensing: Our feedback remains the same. Broker-dealers should be able to operate a full-service spot crypto business without redundant federal or state licensing. The new draft makes progress on state preemption for network tokens, but federal preemption of state money transmission laws for BDs still needs to be explicit. Chairman Atkins' multi-asset platform vision requires it.
- On tokenized securities: Sec. 505 is a congressional directive for the SEC to modernize its rules to accommodate tokenized securities on distributed ledger systems. Combined with the disqualifying financial rights framework, which keeps tokens bearing equity, debt, liquidation, or profit-sharing rights firmly in the securities column, this draft makes clear that regulated BD infrastructure is the mandatory home for these assets. There is no compliant path around it. That is the lane tZERO has been building since day one.
- On @Lynq_Network , our partnership with @arca and @tassatgroup, and the Sec. 404 stablecoin compromise: Our broker-dealer-operated, interest-bearing settlement system remains a compliant path to offer client yield for a tokenized security that powers settlement.
- The remaining work: Permanent BD custody rules remain delegated to agency rulemaking. We would support the statute doing more of that heavy lifting to codify the SEC's December 2025 guidance.
The architecture of this draft reflects real progress, and the statutory hooks are there to build on. Nevertheless, while we advocate for this framework with some enhancements, tZERO's growth and roadmap are not premised on its passage; we have been ready, and we are ready now to be a critical infrastructure provider for market participants. The time for tokenization is now.
