Rialto has received approval from [the] Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to operate their broker-dealer (BD) and alternative trading system (ATS) under the Fourth Industrial Revolution of Digital Securities in the United States of America as domestic systems connect with global partners.
There are private markets with digital securities now able to trade using the “ecosystems” of ATS networks in the US, and additional nodes worldwide, in approved regulated domiciles; although, this doesn’t mean there is liquidity at meaningful volumes for a high-velocity market. The rails and infrastructure are still coming online for mass adoption as reduction in friction is achieved.
These leaders of the Fourth Industrial Revolution are, together, greater than the sum of the whole of the parts. Thereby, catalyzing exponential growth in areas such as decentralized finance (DeFi), digital securities and compliant offerings that are compliant with state, regional and/or local regulators.
