Prometheum Bets on Wall Street Channel: The real missing piece of tokenized securities is not technology, but **distribution**

BlockBeats News, May 25th, the U.S. digital asset infrastructure company Prometheum announced the launch of a digital brokerage solution for broker-dealers and Registered Investment Advisors (RIA), allowing traditional brokerage accounts to directly provide tokenized securities and cryptocurrency asset trading, custody, and clearing services.

Prometheum co-founder and co-CEO Aaron Kaplan stated that the crypto industry has already addressed the "asset tokenization" issue, but has not yet solved the "distribution" issue, resulting in a large number of on-chain security products unable to truly reach mainstream investors.

Kaplan mentioned that there are already several billion dollars of tokenized securities issued on-chain, but they lack support from traditional brokerage channels, making it difficult to achieve large-scale user coverage. "If tokenized assets cannot enter the brokerage system that investors are already using, then tokenization is just a solution without a market."

Prometheum is betting that Wall Street's traditional financial institutions will lead the next stage of on-chain financial development. The company currently holds a full licensing system with SEC registration and FINRA membership, covering issuance, trading, custody, clearing, and settlement, and joined the DTCC (Depository Trust Clearing Corporation) tokenization working group in May of this year.

Prometheum stated that in the coming months, more broker-dealers and RIAs will connect to its infrastructure, and they plan to launch on-chain distribution collaborations for large institutional issuers. Kaplan emphasized that the future of the capital markets will gradually "move onto the chain," but the key is not to replace the existing financial system, but to upgrade the existing system through faster settlement, lower costs, and broader distribution capabilities.
