tZERO Group, Inc., a blockchain-powered multi-asset infrastructure provider, and Stobox, a real-world asset (RWA) tokenization infrastructure firm, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to align their capabilities in primary issuance and regulated brokerage and trading environments. The collaboration addresses the growing demand from issuers for solutions that extend beyond token issuance to include distribution, investor access, and secondary market liquidity, according to a press release.
The partnership reflects a shared focus on providing end-to-end solutions that bridge tokenization infrastructure with regulated market infrastructure, enabling more connected and compliant operations. Alan Konevsky, Chief Executive Officer of tZERO, stated, "Our infrastructure solutions and partner network seek to deliver integrated market solutions that bridge tokenization technology services to compliant issuance, distribution, trading, and custody. Closer alignment across these nodes is key to supporting the next phase of market development."
Stobox provides technology for structuring and issuing compliant digital securities, including exempt offerings in the U.S., and operates under a Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) license in Europe. Its platform enables issuers to prepare tokenized assets for interaction with broader financial ecosystems. Ross Shemeliak, Co-Founder of Stobox, noted, "Digital securities need a clear path from issuance to market access. This direction reflects a broader shift toward more connected, structured, and regulated infrastructure across the industry."
The companies also intend to explore opportunities to expand their relationship as Stobox advances its footprint. Each organization will continue to operate independently and provide services within its respective scope. tZERO, through its broker-dealer subsidiaries tZERO Digital Asset Securities, LLC and tZERO Securities, LLC, offers a liquidity platform for private companies and assets, providing institutional-grade solutions for digitizing capital tables and trading equity on an alternative trading system. Stobox has tokenized more than $500 million in assets for over 100 clients across industries including finance, energy, mining, and real estate.
The partnership is significant as it aims to address key challenges in the tokenized securities market, such as liquidity and regulatory compliance, by creating a seamless bridge between tokenization technology and established market infrastructure. This could accelerate the adoption of digital securities by providing issuers and investors with a clearer path to regulated trading venues.
