tZERO Group, Inc., a provider of blockchain-powered multi-asset infrastructure, has launched 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, exclusively for accredited investors and qualified clients.
According to Alan Konevsky, Chief Executive Officer of tZERO, the move strengthens the company's ability to support institutional-grade private fund strategies within a regulated framework. He noted that the advisory capability, combined with existing broker-dealer, alternative trading system (ATS), and digital asset custody services, enhances the company's end-to-end integrated infrastructure for tokenized fund structures.
The development is part of tZERO's Tokenize + Trade + Connect strategy, which aims to support 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 that the advisory service allows the company to offer a more complete suite of services, from private fund formation and management to trading and custody, all within a single platform.
tZERO Capital Partners will operate as an exempt reporting adviser, providing a regulated pathway for private market strategies. The launch comes amid growing interest in tokenized securities and blockchain-based capital markets infrastructure. By adding advisory services, tZERO positions itself to capture a broader share of the market for digital asset securities, which the company believes will benefit from increased regulatory clarity and institutional adoption.
The announcement underscores tZERO's commitment to building a comprehensive ecosystem for digital securities, combining regulatory compliance with technological innovation. As the market for tokenized assets evolves, the company's integrated approach may attract asset managers and issuers seeking efficient, regulated solutions for private fund offerings.
