tZERO Joins the STO Foundation / The Tokenized Asset Foundation as a Founding Member

Top digital asset infrastructure provider strengthens the Foundation across tokenization, custody, secondary trading, settlement, and institutional connectivity

MIAMI, FL, UNITED STATES, September 10, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Tokenized Asset Foundation, also known as the STO Foundation, today announced that tZERO Group, Inc. has joined the organization as a Founding Member.

tZERO is an established provider of regulated digital asset and tokenized securities infrastructure. Through its technology and affiliated regulated entities, tZERO supports multiple stages of the digital securities lifecycle, including capital formation, token issuance, investor onboarding, custody, transfer agency, secondary trading, clearing, settlement, and institutional connectivity.

The addition of tZERO represents an important milestone for the Foundation as it continues bringing together issuers, investors, financial institutions, tokenization platforms, legal and compliance professionals, and technology providers within a unified global ecosystem.

“tZERO did not enter tokenization after the sector became fashionable. The company has spent more than a decade building and operating the regulated infrastructure that this industry needs,” said Randy Goldberg, President of the Tokenized Asset Foundation. “By joining the Foundation as a Founding Member, tZERO brings valuable institutional experience across issuance, custody, transfer agency, secondary trading, settlement, and market connectivity. We are honored to have them involved in what we are building.”

“Tokenized financial markets will reach their full potential when issuers, investors and institutions can operate within a connected, regulated ecosystem,” said Alan Konevsky, Chief Executive Officer of tZERO. “The Tokenized Asset Foundation is bringing together the participants needed to advance that vision. As a Founding Member, tZERO looks forward to contributing the experience we have gained over more than a decade of building infrastructure across the full lifecycle of tokenized assets – and helping turn industry collaboration into functioning markets at scale.”

Founded in 2014, tZERO has been an early participant in the development of blockchain-powered capital markets. Its infrastructure includes an SEC-regulated Alternative Trading System operated by tZERO Securities, brokerage and digital asset custody capabilities, transfer agent services, and technology supporting the issuance and lifecycle management of tokenized securities.

tZERO’s next-generation platform brings investor onboarding, primary offerings, secondary trading, custody, payments, and institutional white label infrastructure into a connected digital experience. Its API-based connectivity also allows financial institutions, broker-dealers, fintech companies, and other market participants to integrate regulated tokenization and trading capabilities into their own platforms.

As a Founding Member, tZERO will become part of the STO Foundation’s growing international network of companies and industry leaders working to advance compliant, interoperable, and accessible tokenized capital markets.

Areas of potential engagement include:
• Educational content and industry programming through the Foundation’s Global Learning Center
• Webinars and discussions addressing regulated tokenized market infrastructure
• Issuer education covering capital formation, tokenization, custody, and secondary-market readiness
• Collaboration on interoperability between issuers, broker-dealers, custodians, transfer agents, and investors
• Greater awareness of compliant infrastructure options among asset owners/companies exploring tokenization
• Participation in the Foundation’s broader global ecosystem of issuers, vendors, investors, and stakeholders
• Discussions concerning investor onboarding, settlement, market access, and secondary liquidity

“Tokenization cannot reach institutional scale through isolated systems,” Goldberg added. “Issuers may use one platform for issuance, another provider for investor verification, another for custody, and another for secondary trading. The industry needs experienced organizations that understand how these components must work together. tZERO’s involvement will strengthen those conversations throughout the Foundation.”

The Tokenized Asset Foundation is building an agnostic ecosystem in which issuers and founders can learn about tokenization, identify vetted service providers, prepare their offerings, publish issuer profiles, and connect with potential capital and market participants.

For vendors and institutional providers, the Foundation is creating new opportunities to educate the market, build strategic relationships, and reach qualified issuers actively developing tokenized offerings.

The organization’s expanding infrastructure includes the Global Learning Center, RWAVendors.com, the Issuer Directory, the RWA Forum, Tokenized Markets Weekly, RealWorldAssetDomains.com, industry webinars, global events, and developing buy-side and strategic-capital initiatives.

The STO Foundation is preparing to rebrand as The Tokenized Asset Foundation in Q4 2026. The new identity reflects the organization’s expanding global mission across real-world asset tokenization, digital securities, private markets, regulated digital infrastructure, and tokenized capital formation.
