tZERO Group, Inc., a blockchain-powered multi-asset infrastructure firm, announced the launch of tZERO Capital Partners, LLC, an exempt reporting adviser authorized to provide advisory services to private funds. The new entity targets funds structured under Sections 3(c)(1) or 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, available exclusively to accredited investors and qualified clients. This move adds a regulated advisory layer to tZERO's existing broker-dealer, alternative trading system (ATS), and digital asset custody capabilities, furthering its strategy to support tokenized fund structures and next-generation workflows.
Alan Konevsky, Chief Executive Officer of tZERO, stated, "This milestone strengthens our ability to support institutional-grade private fund strategies within a regulated framework. Advisory, alongside our broker-dealer, ATS and digital asset custody capabilities, strengthen our ability to support tokenized fund structures and next-generation workflows within a regulated framework and further bolsters our industry leading end-to-end integrated infrastructure." The development supports tZERO's Tokenize + Trade + Connect strategy, providing infrastructure for digitally native private fund vehicles and institutional-grade tokenized investment products across emerging on-chain capital markets.
Vanessa Savino, EVP and Chief Legal Officer of tZERO, added, "Combined with our broker-dealer, ATS, and digital asset custody regulatory authorizations, this advisory capability allows us to offer clients a more complete suite of services – from private fund formation and management to trading and custody – all within our end-to-end platform." The launch comes as tZERO continues to expand its regulated offerings, positioning itself as a comprehensive solution for private market participants seeking to leverage blockchain technology for liquidity and efficiency.
tZERO's broker-dealer subsidiaries operate an alternative trading system for private securities, democratizing access to private assets. The addition of tZERO Capital Partners enhances its ability to manage private funds, offering a regulated pathway for institutional investors. The company emphasizes that digital asset securities involve substantial risks, including potential loss of principal, and that this announcement does not constitute an offer or solicitation for any security.
