Prometheum, a market infrastructure provider for digital assets, announced it has secured an additional $23 million since the start of 2025 from a group of high-net-worth investors and institutions, adding fresh capital to support its plans to modernize how digital asset products are distributed and supported inside U.S. securities markets.
The company said the funding will help accelerate its commercial expansion through the U.S. broker-dealer channel, with an emphasis on rolling out correspondent clearing distribution services and advancing the development of on-chain securities products. Prometheum positioned the raise as validation of its strategy to bring crypto, tokenized assets, and digitally native securities into more familiar brokerage account workflows.
A central pillar of that effort is Prometheum Capital, which the company described as a FINRA member and SEC-registered broker-dealer authorized for digital asset custody, clearing, and settlement, and for providing correspondent clearing services for U.S. broker-dealers. Prometheum said it is currently onboarding its initial correspondent clearing relationships, framing the service as a way to introduce and clear firms to offer digital assets to customers without rebuilding operational and compliance models from scratch.
On the product side, Prometheum said it is developing a pipeline of digitally native and tokenized investment products designed to operate within established U.S. securities markets. The company described its approach as aligning on-chain product development with broker-dealer distribution and digital asset custody infrastructure, with the goal of integrating digital assets into core market workflows and speeding adoption of blockchain-enabled capital markets.
Prometheum said its broader broker-dealer network includes Prometheum ATS for secondary market trading, Prometheum Capital for custody, clearing, and settlement, ProFinancial for capital formation and distribution, and Prometheum Coinery, an SEC-registered digital transfer agent.
KEY QUOTES:
“Prior investment allowed us to operationalize our custodial platform and complete the foundational build-out of our infrastructure. This funding enables us to work with more product issuers to bring on-chain securities products to market faster, while simultaneously onboarding more broker-dealers to distribute those products to mainstream investors. We’re excited to build digital markets in 2026.”
