New York, NY – January 30, 2026 – (BUSINESS WIRE) – Prometheum Inc. (“Prometheum”), a market infrastructure provider for digital assets, today announced that since the start of 2025, it has secured an additional $23 million from a group of high-net-worth investors and institutions. This funding reflects continued investor confidence in Prometheum’s role building next-generation market infrastructure for U.S. capital markets.
The new capital will support Prometheum’s commercial expansion as it brings digital asset products – including crypto, tokenized assets, and on-chain securities – into mainstream financial markets through the U.S. broker-dealer channel. While the company’s long-term focus remains on the development and adoption of on-chain securities, Prometheum is now positioned to support the broader spectrum of digital asset offerings as institutions increasingly seek integrated access across product types.
Prometheum Capital, a FINRA member and SEC-registered broker-dealer authorized for digital asset custody, clearing, and settlement, is also authorized to provide correspondent clearing services for U.S. broker-dealers. These services enable introducing and clearing firms to offer digital assets to their customers through existing brokerage accounts. Prometheum Capital is currently onboarding its initial correspondent clearing relationships, providing a pathway for broker-dealers to participate in digital asset markets without re-architecting their operational or compliance models.
At the product level, Prometheum is advancing a pipeline of digitally-native and tokenized investment products designed to operate within established U.S. securities markets. By aligning on-chain product development with broker-dealer distribution and digital asset custody infrastructure, Prometheum is integrating digital assets into core market workflows and accelerating the transition toward blockchain-enabled capital markets.
“Prior investment allowed us to operationalize our custodial platform and complete the foundational build-out of our infrastructure,” said Aaron Kaplan, co-CEO of Prometheum Inc. “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.”
