Prometheum bets on Wall Street channels: tokenized securities truly lack not technology, but "distribution"

Breaking News from Mars Finance, May 25 — The U.S. digital asset infrastructure company Prometheum announced the launch of a digital brokerage solution for broker-dealers and Registered Investment Advisors (RIAs), allowing traditional broker accounts to directly offer tokenized securities and crypto assets trading, custody, and clearing services.
Prometheum co-founder and co-CEO Aaron Kaplan stated that the crypto industry has already addressed the issue of "asset tokenization," but the "distribution" problem remains unsolved, resulting in many on-chain securities products failing to reach mainstream investors.
Kaplan said that hundreds of billions of dollars worth of tokenized securities are currently issued on-chain, but lack support from traditional broker channels, making large-scale user coverage difficult.
"If tokenized assets cannot enter the broker systems 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 phase of on-chain finance development.
The company currently holds a full licensing system registered with the SEC and a FINRA membership, covering issuance, trading, custody, clearing, and settlement, and joined the DTCC (Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation) tokenization working group this May.
Prometheum stated that in the coming months, more broker-dealers and RIAs will connect to its infrastructure, and it plans to launch on-chain distribution collaborations for large institutional issuers.
Kaplan emphasized that the future of capital markets will gradually "move on-chain," but the key is not to replace the existing financial system, rather to upgrade it through faster settlement, lower costs, and broader distribution capabilities.

Will the institutional issuer come? It mainly depends on liquidity.

Wall Street has finally joined in; this approach is more stable than pure DeFi.
