Prometheum has introduced a new infrastructure, known as Digital Brokerage Solutions, enabling broker-dealers and registered investment advisers (RIAs) to offer tokenized securities and crypto assets through traditional brokerage accounts. Co-founder Aaron Kaplan highlights that while the technology for tokenization has evolved, the distribution of these digital assets remains a significant hurdle, preventing mainstream investor access. Prometheum aims to bridge this gap by leveraging regulated Wall Street firms to facilitate the distribution of blockchain-based securities. The firm operates a network of SEC-registered and FINRA-member broker-dealers, providing a comprehensive suite of services that includes issuance, trading, custody, and settlement of tokenized securities. Kaplan emphasizes that integrating these digital assets into existing financial systems is crucial for their success. He believes that the future of securities will increasingly move onchain, with tokenized real-world assets expected to play a significant role in capital markets. As demand for regulated digital asset infrastructure grows, Prometheum anticipates onboarding additional broker-dealers and RIAs, further solidifying its position in the evolving landscape of digital finance.
