Temple Digital Group has selected @tZERO as our ATS and technology provider for onchain tokenized securities.
Under the agreement, Temple Digital Group will integrate tZERO's regulated operating technologies, including client onboarding and transaction services, letting Temple bring tokenized securities trading to our clients.
“Institutions building tokenized markets need a regulated operating foundation that can work with their technology and business model,” said Alan Konevsky, Chief Executive Officer of tZERO. “Temple has developed one of the most powerful trading systems on Canton. By bringing our broker-dealer and ATS capabilities to that system, we can help Temple deliver its offering to clients while expanding the reach of tZERO’s Infrastructure-as-a-Service business.”
“We’re focused on developing regulated, onchain trading technologies for tokenized assets,” said Evan Varsamis, Chief Executive Officer of Temple Digital Group. “Working with tZERO allows us to combine our solutions with an established broker-dealer and ATS operator, providing the regulated infrastructure needed to support securities on our platform at scale.”

Your brand. Your clients. Our infrastructure.

@tZERO's DCO approval adds a critical layer of risk management and settlement infrastructure – placing us among a limited group of CFTC-registered derivatives clearing organizations.
For tZERO, clearing is part of a broader IaaS strategy: helping institutions build financial offerings under their own brands. The DCO adds derivatives clearing alongside securities brokerage, ATS trading, digital securities custody and transfer agency.
Our builders and problem solvers moved heaven and earth again. Vanessa, Al, Chris and many others. This is the team to back in this space, but we know that. I want to pause on is how the new CFTC-regulated rails fit into the overall strategy and competitive differentiation for tZERO.
Our mission is to tokenize Wall Street. We are in the golden age of tokenization. Tokenization is not an experiment. The sea change is irreversible. But this is also a transition for which most market participants – traditional and crypto – are unprepared. We address that gap.
tZERO has been the original innovator in this space going back to ten+ years. While success has many fathers and mothers, my team and I stand behind a large chunk of the regulated innovation behind tokenization in the US. And we sit right in the middle of this generational shift.
We are one of a few participants in this market and and represent a very differentiated proposition and entry point into the industry. We operate the broadest and deepest diversified infrastructure-as-a-service platform across securities and, now, derivatives/prediction markets/crypto verticals. Our tokenized securities vertical is deep with a more complete licensed infrastructure stack for a differentiated customer funnel. These capabilities are underpinned by a portfolio of 103 patents across 23 families. Our stack is end-to-end and turnkey and serves institutional clients across the asset lifecycle. The offering is built, ready and commercialized with Tier 1 clients.
Our core moat and competitive differentiator is our end-to-end suite of regulated services that cannot be replicated on any timescale consistent with this fast-moving marketplace. The human capital and operational capabilities that support off-the-shelf and bespoke solutioning are also critical to our success. We are independent and not captured by any single client or investor allowing for a customer funnel.
Individually, these capabilities are scarce and hard to secure and, as importantly, operationalize (for example, those who own the new CFTC capabilities use them for own books of business – and not as infrastructure-as-a-service even in face of significant demand). Together, these services address every pain point in the tokenization lifecycle and provide full horizontal interoperability, and opportunities to cross-sell capabilities as needs evolve and we work with our clients to provide comprehensive solutions for sticky and evergreen relationships.
Our customers run the gamut – from broker dealer and other financial institutions to asset managers, crypto platforms and blockchain ecosystems. Each has specific or full-stack needs for our services depending on the product they are looking to support. One theme is our infrastructure, technology and footprint passing rigorous due diligence with top organizations. Our near-term execution list illustrates the diversified demand base. A couple of off-the-top examples. Goldman Sachs bringing a traditional product to tokenized settlement rails. ICE using us as design partner in their tokenized public equities marketplace. Uphold, a 10m customer crypto platform using us as a vehicle for their US tokenized securities market entry. We have also been actively pre-selling capacity on our derivatives/prediction markets/crypto infrastructure platform to global and US clients looking to offer perps and other products. Overall, in a long sales cycle industry, our revenue pipeline has never been bigger – organically and with the strong industry tailwinds. Like any infrastructure, there is an obvious fixed cost. But that is also our moat.
This is where our diversified strategy – with securities and derivatives verticals and a range of clients – is particularly critical. We are not exclusively correlated to the pace and scale of tokenization of public equities, for example, or other products. That is another core difference.
Couldn’t be prouder of @tZERO!
@tZERO has received CFTC approval for its wholly owned subsidiary, tZERO DCO, LLC, to operate as a Derivatives Clearing Organization (DCO).
The approval expands tZERO's regulated infrastructure beyond securities markets and furthers our long-term vision of connecting traditional financial markets with blockchain technology through trusted, regulated market infrastructure.

“I’m a big believer in not just clarity, but in permanence.”
@tZERO Chief Executive Officer @Alan_Konevsky outlined why long-term certainty for digital assets goes beyond agency rulemaking and the role legislation can play in creating a more durable framework in his conversation with @FINTECHTVglobal's @jd_durkin.
Congratulations to the entire @tZERO team on being named a 2026 Info-Tech Innovator of the Year.
Your transfer agent platform that places traditional and tokenized share classes on a single cap table with synchronized on-chain ownership records addresses a long-standing operational gap.
tZERO Named a 2026 Info-Tech Innovator of the Year Award Winner
tZERO’s transfer agent platform unifies traditional and tokenized share classes onto a single cap table with synchronized on-chain ownership records
tZERO Group, Inc. ("@tZERO"), the Infrastructure-as-a-Service company powering the tokenized economy, today announced it has been named a winner of the Innovator of the Year Award as part of the 2026 Info-Tech Awards. Presented by Info-Tech Research Group (@infotechRG), a global IT research and advisory firm, the award recognizes organizations that have implemented innovative technology initiatives to solve business challenges, improve operational efficiency and deliver results.
tZERO’s award centered on its transfer agent, developed to bring blockchain-based securities into the same process used to administer traditional shares. The platform connects to more than 20 blockchains and combines tokenization with established transfer agent functions, including ownership recordkeeping, compliance and corporate actions.
“Transfer agency still relies heavily on batch files and manual reconciliation, and tokenization can end up adding another ledger to manage,” said Chris Russell, EVP, Chief Technology & Security Officer at tZERO. “We built our platform so the official shareholder register and blockchain record are one book, not two to reconcile. Traditional and tokenized share classes sit on the same cap table, with compliance and corporate actions built into the workflow.”
Built as a modular platform with APIs, a white label platform, pluggable blockchain adapters and Halborn-audited smart contracts, the system processes standard transfer agent files on-chain with penny-level precision. It also automates certain corporate actions, including USDC dividend distributions and dividend reinvestment. Each record change is documented with before-and-after values, providing compliance teams with an audit trail. Issuers can manage cap tables, distributions and employee equity in one place, while investors and employees can access a self-service view of their holdings.
By using industry-standard transfer agent formats, tZERO’s platform allows institutions to incorporate tokenized securities administration into existing workflows. Offered through tZERO’s Infrastructure-as-a-Service model, its transfer agent and tokenization capabilities can be integrated through APIs and white label solutions, allowing institutional partners to expand their digital asset services without building the underlying technology and regulatory infrastructure themselves.

Tokenization scales like markets always have. Through broker-dealers, exchanges, issuers, and custodians on shared rules.
With @tZERO, we're building one regulated framework that lets broker-dealers offer dShares™ end to end, from issuance to shareholder servicing.
Speed, transparency, equity and equality of access.
@tZERO Chief Executive Officer @Alan_Konevsky discusses with @FINTECHTVglobal's @jd_durkin what tokenization can bring to financial markets and why machine-to-machine trading and financial interactions could make tokenization a natural fit for an AI-led economy.
More eligible investors.
Same standard of proof.
The SEC is taking comment on broader accredited investor eligibility.
Rule 506(c) issuers would still owe reasonable steps to verify each investor's status.
