tZERO to Power Archax Markets’ U.S. Expansion With Regulated Digital Securities Infrastructure

Correspondent Clearing Relationship Will Connect Archax Markets’ Clients to Digital Asset Securities Custody, Escrow and Secondary Trading Through tZERO’s Regulated Platform

NEW YORK, NY – September 8, 2026 (NEWMEDIAWIRE) – tZERO Group, Inc., a leader in blockchain-based financial infrastructure, today announced that its broker-dealer subsidiaries have established a correspondent clearing relationship with Archax Markets LLC, the newly approved U.S. digital broker-dealer subsidiary of Archax Group Ltd. The relationship will provide the regulated infrastructure supporting Archax Markets’ planned U.S. offering of traditional and digital securities, including tokenized real-world assets.

Archax announced that Archax Markets has received approval of its New Member Application from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), completing its registration as a U.S. broker-dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Archax expects the business to commence U.S. operations during the third quarter of 2026.

Through its arrangements with tZERO Securities, LLC and tZERO Digital Asset Securities, LLC, Archax Markets will operate as an introducing broker and gain access to regulated U.S. capabilities spanning correspondent clearing, custody of digital asset securities, escrow services, and secondary trading through the tZERO Securities alternative trading system (ATS). The relationship enables Archax to pair its global digital asset platform and distribution capabilities with tZERO’s U.S. market infrastructure.

“Archax’s U.S. approval is an important step in expanding institutional access to tokenized assets, and tZERO provides the regulated infrastructure needed to help translate that opportunity into an operational offering,” said Alan Konevsky, Chief Executive Officer of tZERO. “This relationship demonstrates our Infrastructure-as-a-Service model in action: enabling financial institutions to enter digital asset securities markets through established custody, clearing and trading capabilities rather than having to build the full stack themselves.”

In addition to acting as an introducing broker, Archax Markets’ registration permits it to offer private placements of traditional and digital securities to U.S. institutional and accredited investors. It also includes the ability to chaperone certain private placement offerings by non-U.S. broker-dealers to qualifying U.S. institutional investors in accordance with SEC Rule 15a-6.

The agreement adds Archax Markets to a growing group of financial institutions using tZERO’s regulated infrastructure to bring tokenized securities to U.S. investors. tZERO’s integrated capabilities support the lifecycle of digital asset securities, connecting regulated custody and clearing with access to secondary liquidity through the tZERO Securities ATS.
