The Future of Investing Is Here: Siebert Partners with tZERO to Bring Digital Securities to Clients

Siebert Clients Now Have a Pathway to Tokenized Securities Through a Trusted Brokerage Relationship

Siebert is proud to announce a strategic partnership with tZERO Group, Inc., a leader in blockchain-powered financial infrastructure. Through this collaboration, Siebert clients can now access eligible tokenized securities and blockchain-enabled financial products through the brokerage relationship they already have.

At Siebert, we have always believed that access to financial opportunity should not depend on who you know or what infrastructure you can afford to build. That belief guided Muriel Siebert when she became the first woman to own a seat on the New York Stock Exchange in 1967. It guides us now as capital markets enter a new era.

Tokenized securities represent a meaningful shift in how investors and issuers connect. These are financial instruments that use blockchain technology to represent ownership in real assets, offering new possibilities around liquidity, transparency, and access. Until now, they have largely remained out of reach for traditional investors, requiring separate accounts, private key management, and technical knowledge that most people simply do not have. This partnership changes that.

Through tZERO's regulated, end-to-end infrastructure, Siebert's 170,000 account holders can explore and, where eligible, participate in tokenized securities through a familiar brokerage experience. No separate platforms. No new accounts. No private keys to manage. Just a trusted relationship with a firm that has spent nearly six decades expanding access to the markets.

"Siebert has always moved forward by helping more people access opportunity in the markets," said John J. Gebbia, CEO of Siebert Financial. "Tokenized securities represent an important evolution in how investors and issuers can connect. Our relationship with tZERO gives us the infrastructure to enter this market while building for where financial markets are headed."

What makes this partnership different is the depth of tZERO's infrastructure. Their platform covers the full lifecycle of a digital security: investor onboarding, identity verification, KYC and AML compliance, tokenization, custody, secondary market trading through the tZERO Securities ATS, correspondent clearing and settlement, and transfer agent services. Siebert gains all of that through a single partnership, rather than stitching together multiple vendors with separate integrations and ongoing support costs.

"Siebert can now offer a comprehensive digital asset securities capability through one relationship, including issuance, custody, trading, transfer agency, and correspondent clearing," said Ralph Daiuto, Chief Legal Officer at Muriel Siebert & Co. and Head of Digital Assets Strategy at Siebert. "That creates a real bridge between traditional finance and the digital economy."

The first concrete example of this bridge in action is Siebert's collaboration with Streamex Corp. and tZERO to support access to GLDY, a gold-backed, yield-bearing tokenized security. Eligible accredited and institutional investors can access GLDY through Siebert's wealth management and institutional distribution channels, with custody and digital securities infrastructure provided by tZERO.

This is what the future of investing looks like in practice: established distribution, trusted client relationships, and regulated blockchain infrastructure working together inside one seamless experience.

For issuers, the partnership opens new channels to raise capital and reach investors. For clients, it expands the universe of eligible opportunities available through Siebert. And for the industry, it offers a clear example of how traditional broker-dealers can enter the tokenized securities market without years of infrastructure buildout or additional licensing.

Siebert has always grown by staying close to where the markets are heading while keeping clients at the center. This partnership is no different. We look forward to helping our clients navigate this next chapter of investing with the guidance, transparency, and access they deserve.
