tZERO Partners with Zerohash to Enable Crypto and Stablecoin Account Funding

tZERO Group, Inc., a blockchain and tokenization pioneer for capital markets, announced a partnership with Zerohash, a crypto and stablecoin infrastructure provider, to introduce multi-asset funding capabilities for brokerage accounts. The integration, scheduled to launch in November 2025, will enable investors to deposit stablecoins and cryptocurrencies that Zerohash converts into fiat currency for deposit into tZERO brokerage accounts.

This development represents a significant step toward creating a unified, multi-asset platform that bridges traditional finance with digital assets. Stablecoin and crypto deposits provide an alternative to traditional transfer methods, streamlining how investors move capital into their accounts. The broker-dealer itself does not handle cryptocurrency directly, as deposits are received as cash through Zerohash's conversion process.

Alan Konevsky, Chief Executive Officer of tZERO, emphasized the strategic importance of this partnership. "This is a first step towards a converged and interoperable multi-asset environment that is a major promise of blockchain technology and tZERO's vision," Konevsky stated. "Expanding funding options to include crypto deposits enhances investor accessibility while reinforcing our broader convergence strategy: a single, digital-first global ecosystem where traditional securities, tokenized assets, and other asset classes can coexist under a regulated framework."

Alex Vlastakis, President of tZERO Securities, LLC, highlighted how this integration strengthens the platform's foundation. "Integrating a multi-asset funding rail strengthens the foundation of our platform by broadening how investors can engage with us," Vlastakis explained. "Each building block we add - from custody to clearing to new funding methods - moves us closer to delivering a seamless, multi-asset experience. This collaboration ensures we remain aligned with investor needs while advancing the future of capital markets."

Edward Woodford, Founder and CEO of Zerohash, expressed pride in supporting tZERO's initiative. "Zerohash is proud to support tZERO as it builds the next generation of capital markets," Woodford said. "By powering seamless crypto and stablecoins into fiat, we help enable tZERO's investors to fund accounts with digital assets in a secure and regulated way. This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to bridging traditional finance and the digital asset ecosystem through reliable, compliant infrastructure."

Zerohash serves as a regulated financial infrastructure provider that enables seamless integration of stablecoins and crypto, supporting approximately 100 digital assets. The company handles the underlying complexity of conversion and settlement, allowing institutions like tZERO to offer crypto-funding options within a fully compliant framework.
