NEW YORK, NY - July 14, 2026 (NEWMEDIAWIRE) - tZERO Group, Inc., a leader in blockchain-based financial infrastructure, today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, tZERO Introducing Broker, LLC, has completed its CFTC registration as an introducing broker and NFA member. This addition to tZERO’s expansive and growing portfolio of regulated capabilities will enable tZERO to provide infrastructure for regulated derivative products.
As an introducing broker, tZERO will be able to solicit and accept customer orders for CFTC-regulated derivatives and pass those orders to a Designated Contract Market or Futures Commission Merchant for execution and clearing, on a fully disclosed basis. Initially, tZERO will also utilize this license to offer event contracts on its forthcoming multi-asset platform.
"The launch of tZERO Introducing Broker is another example of our strategy to expand our market-leading, vertically integrated infrastructure stack for tokenized securities horizontally to a range of CFTC-regulated products – as we build trusted, regulated and independent infrastructure that enables institutions and investors to participate in an expanding range of financial markets through a seamless client experience and back-end interoperability,” said Alan Konevsky, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of tZERO.
The approval represents another step in tZERO’s broader derivatives strategy, following the company’s previously announced applications for Designated Contract Market (DCM) and Derivatives Clearing Organization (DCO) registrations.
As financial markets continue to evolve, tZERO remains focused on building interoperable infrastructure that connects traditional and emerging financial markets through regulated, technology-driven solutions and unlocks asset silos. By expanding the capabilities available through its regulated platform, tZERO continues to help institutions and investors access the next generation of financial markets with the trust, transparency and compliance they expect.

Risk Disclosure Statement
Trading event contracts involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor. Event contracts (also referred to as event-based or prediction contracts) are derivatives that pay out based on whether a specified future event occurs – such as an economic, political, or other measurable outcome – and typically settle on an all-or-nothing basis. If the event does not resolve in the manner contracted for, you may lose the entire amount paid to enter the position. While event contracts are generally fully collateralized at the time of purchase, meaning your loss is generally limited to the amount put at risk, you should be prepared to lose that full amount. Pricing on event contracts can move quickly and unpredictably as new information, odds, or market sentiment shift ahead of settlement, and there is no assurance of liquidity, which could affect your ability to exit a position before expiration. The regulatory treatment and availability of certain event contracts continues to evolve and may vary by jurisdiction or be subject to ongoing regulatory or legal review. There are also risks specific to event contracts tied to digital assets or referencing digital asset markets, including, without limitation, volatility, fraud, manipulation, cybersecurity, and technology risk. Past performance, odds, or any referenced data is not necessarily indicative of future results.
