NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Prometheum Ember Capital LLC (“Prometheum Capital”), a subsidiary of Prometheum Inc., announced today the addition of digital asset securities (“DAS”) Uniswap (UNI) and Arbitrum (ARB) to its custodial platform.
Institutional and corporate clients in the U.S. will be able to custody Ethereum’s ether (ETH) token, along with the above digital assets, through Prometheum Capital, a FINRA member firm and SEC-registered special purpose broker-dealer for digital assets. Together, these three DAS have a market cap of nearly $320 billion and are all amongst the top 50 digital assets by market cap.
Prometheum Capital uses blockchain technology for recording on chain ownership of digital assets, eliminating the need for traditional intermediaries such as transfer agents. This approach not only enhances transparency, but also can reduce costs compared to traditional solutions that rely on transfer agents for recordkeeping, for instance.
Prometheum Capital plans to launch its custodial services to institutional investors in Q3 2024. Prometheum Capital will continue to expand its digital asset offerings for custody, and in the future trading, to support digital assets including debt, equities, ETFs, mutual funds, options, money market funds, and other investment contract products that are issued and transferred on a blockchain.
