With nearly $30 billion now invested in on-chain securities products, we’ve only begun to see the depth and breadth of what digital markets can offer investors. But as more on-chain investment funds arrive, investors should remember this adage: Timeō Danaōs et dōna ferentēs – “Beware of Greeks Bearing Gifts.” In his latest op-ed for CoinDesk, Aaron Kaplan examines how to distinguish true innovation from products that may leverage blockchain hype to recycle failed strategies or justify higher fees.

Seems like everyday there is a new headline discussing the tokenization of securities products, but what does tokenization actually entail? At Prometheum Inc., we believe true modernization of market infrastructure will not be achieved until securities are fully digitally-native issuances. In a recent deep dive, we broke down the key differences between tokenized securities and digitally-native securities, and why those distinctions matter for issuers, investors, and intermediaries alike. If you’re curious how this plays out in practice, and how our FINRA member and SEC-registered broker-dealer subsidiaries are advancing digitally-native securities from product development to broker-dealer distribution, please reach out. #securities #tokenization #digitalassets #marketinfrastructure #crypto #brokerdealers

Tokenization has captured headlines this year with several major institutions announcing plans to offer traditional securities on-chain. But not all blockchain-based securities are created equal. Tokenized securities and digitally-native securities differ in fundamental ways that shape how trades settle, the rights investors actually hold, and how efficiently issuers can bring new products to market. Prometheum Inc. is building the infrastructure for the next stage: digitally-native securities. Through our FINRA member SEC-registered broker-dealer subsidiaries, we enable issuers to launch products directly on-chain faster and more efficiently.

SEC Chairman Atkins’ call for a U.S. market “super-app” captures how digital markets of the future will operate. By combining blockchain-enabled infrastructure with the traditional broker-dealer structure, U.S. investors will soon be able access a wide array of financial products: from traditional securities to non-security crypto and digital asset securities.

In our latest op-ed with CoinDesk, Aaron Kaplan lays out how the lack of regulatory clarity in digital assets didn’t stifle the crypto industry, it sidelined traditional U.S. broker-dealers. While crypto and fintech trading platforms were able to innovate and attract investors, over 3,300 registered broker-dealers were unable to offer their customers access to crypto. The result? Billions in trading volume moved out of the brokerage industry. Now, with the SEC expanding access to digital assets to registered broker-dealers, the question becomes: does Wall Street have a second-mover advantage to reclaim customers and assets?

After the landmark passage of the stablecoin bill this week, SEC Chair Paul Atkins emphasized the agency’s pro-tokenization stance, stating his staff is considering an innovation exemption empower tokenization in the U.S. and potentially “permit novel ways of trading and more narrowly tailored forms of relief to facilitate the building of other components of a tokenized securities ecosystem.” We applaud the SEC’s approach to modernizing capital markets and usher in an era of scalable and efficient digital asset markets. At Prometheum Inc., we’ve been building toward this moment—a full-lifecycle, on‑chain securities ecosystem designed to support tokenization and enable direct, on-chain issuance and distribution of digital asset securities. From issuance and digital broker‑dealer services to settlement, custody, and post‑trade support, digital markets infrastructure has arrived. If you're an issuer, broker-dealer, or institutional investor exploring the benefits of on‑chain securities, let’s discuss how Prometheum’s end‑to‑end ecosystem can support your business in this new chapter of capital markets evolution.
