tZERO Group, Inc., a blockchain-powered multi-asset infrastructure provider, announced it can now support cryptocurrencies through its digital assets securities brokerage platform. The company stated that artificial restrictions preventing it from operating a non-security crypto asset business have been lifted, allowing expansion into this market segment.
This development follows tZERO's recent capability to support user self-custody and on-chain settlement via self-hosted wallets. By combining self-custody options with new non-security crypto asset handling, tZERO aims to bridge regulated markets with the decentralized finance ecosystem. The company plans to launch non-security crypto asset deposits in early Q2 2026, which can fund securities transactions on its platform.
Alan Konevsky, Chief Executive Officer of tZERO, emphasized the company's vision for unified financial markets. "Operational, technological and regulatory distinctions among financial asset types are vestigial. The future is singular," Konevsky stated. "Tokenization has the potential to unite all financial experiences - all of our economy - under one rubric. We are building that future."
tZERO operates under rigorous standards for broker-dealer possession of digital asset securities established by the SEC's updated guidance. As one of only two original special purpose broker-dealers, tZERO has developed institutional-grade infrastructure for secure, on-chain digital asset custody. The company's broker-dealer subsidiaries are registered with the SEC and members of FINRA and SIPC, with more information available through FINRA's BrokerCheck.
This expansion represents a significant development in financial market infrastructure, potentially increasing accessibility between traditional securities and cryptocurrency markets. By operating multiple asset types under one regulated platform, tZERO could reduce fragmentation in digital asset trading and custody services. The company's existing experience with tokenized assets positions it to potentially streamline processes that currently require separate platforms for different asset classes.
