A publicly available alternative trading system will enable investors to trade digital assets. If approved by regulators, the system will be overseen by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Financial Institutions Regulatory Agency (FINRA).
The marketplace will be owned by Prometheum's subsidiary, Prometheum Ember ATS (“PEATS”), and will act as a registered broker-dealer.
Following the launch of PEATS, Anchorage Digital Bank will provide storage and online settlement for the system. Recall that in January, the cryptocurrency company Anchorage received a license from the Office of the Comptroller of the United States of America (OCC) for banking activities in the country.
