tZERO Group, Inc., a provider of blockchain-powered multi-asset infrastructure, 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 addition creates a regulated pathway for institutional-grade private market strategies within the broader tZERO ecosystem.
The advisory service complements tZERO's existing broker-dealer, alternative trading system (ATS), and digital asset custody capabilities. Alan Konevsky, Chief Executive Officer of tZERO, stated, "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 advances tZERO's Tokenize + Trade + Connect strategy by supporting 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, emphasized the comprehensive nature of the offering: "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 positions tZERO to meet growing demand for regulated digital asset services as institutional investors seek exposure to tokenized securities and private markets.
The announcement underscores tZERO's commitment to building a regulated infrastructure for digital assets, addressing key challenges such as custody, trading, and fund management under existing securities laws. By offering advisory services alongside its other regulated entities, tZERO aims to streamline the lifecycle of tokenized investments, from creation to secondary trading. This move is likely to attract fund managers and investors seeking a compliant framework for blockchain-based assets, while also signaling the maturation of the digital securities industry.
