tZERO Group, Inc., a pioneer in blockchain and tokenization innovation for capital markets, announced that its FINRA member broker-dealer subsidiary, tZERO Securities, LLC, has received approval to expand its business activities to include the sale of corporate debt securities.

Under the authorization, tZERO’s alternative trading system (ATS) is approved to facilitate secondary trading in this additional asset class. This milestone reinforces the firm’s role as a leader in modernizing how capital is raised, traded, and owned. tZERO already holds approvals to facilitate primary offerings of corporate debt, as well as to operate its primary offering business and ATS for corporate equity securities, including the online sale and resale of OTC equities to retail investors.

“This is a significant step forward for tZERO and its market-leading, broker-dealer led platform for offerings, trading and custody of tokenized securities in the U.S.,” said Alan Konevsky, CEO. “Adding corporate debt securities to our platform expands investment opportunities for clients and reinforces our vision of a comprehensive, cross-asset marketplace powered by blockchain, as well as to develop tokenized debt and structured products treated as debt tailored to specific investor demand.”

“By integrating corporate debt, tZERO is not only addressing growing institutional and retail demand for diverse, digitized assets – including tokenized real-world assets – but we’re also providing issuers a way to give their investors a much-needed secondary liquidity option,” added Alex Vlastakis, President of tZERO Securities.

FINRA’s approval highlights tZERO’s ongoing commitment to compliance, innovation, and long-term market growth. As the company continues to expand its platform, it is laying the groundwork for a next-generation trading environment that unites traditional securities with the transparency and security of blockchain.

tZERO Group, Inc. is a pioneer in blockchain and tokenization innovation, delivering institutional-grade technology and a regulated marketplace for tokenized securities and other assets. tZERO empowers issuers to digitize and manage their cap tables, while enabling investors, institutions, and broker-dealers to access liquidity in private assets. By combining compliance, security, and automation, tZERO is redefining how capital is raised, traded, and owned in the digital era.
