By Amit Chowdhry • Today at 9:03 AM

Arqitech, a non-custodial infrastructure platform connecting institutional finance with digital assets, announced it has closed a Series A financing round led by Muriel Siebert & Co., LLC, a broker-dealer and wholly owned subsidiary of Siebert Financial.

Based in Boca Raton, Florida, Arqitech provides banks, asset managers, hedge funds, and prime brokers with direct API access to trustless swaps, DEX aggregation across more than 32 chains and 20 decentralized exchanges, privacy-enabled settlement on Canton Network, instant global payments with fiat on and off-ramps, and regulated real-world asset pathways, all while enabling clients to retain custody.

The company said the new funding will accelerate its 2026 roadmap. Plans begin with the live launch of secure swapping and DEX aggregation in the first quarter, followed by fiat on and off-ramp pilots, multi-currency support, and a regulated real-world asset marketplace on Canton Network.

Arqitech said its phased rollout will also include trustless cross-chain execution, unified liquidity access with optimal execution across networks, and instant global payments designed to reduce fees, eliminate chargebacks, and enable real-time settlement. The platform is being built on the Canton Network alongside financial institutions and market infrastructure providers.

The leadership team includes CEO Brian Wasserman, Chief Development Officer Morgan Drmaj, Chief Technology Officer Julian Schwartz, and Head of Product Thaddeus Pryor. The company positions its non-custodial, privacy-enabled infrastructure as a compliant bridge between decentralized finance and traditional financial institutions.

Muriel Siebert & Co., LLC was founded in 1967 by Muriel Siebert, the first woman to own a seat on the New York Stock Exchange. The firm provides brokerage, custodial, portfolio management, financial planning, and advisory services.
