tZERO Group, a provider of blockchain-based infrastructure for financial markets, has announced a new funding round to support its ongoing growth strategy.
The raise was led by Marc and Max Cohodes, with participation from existing backers Intercontinental Exchange and Bill Fleckenstein, alongside support from partner Dinari and other investors.
Neighborhood Intelligence has also committed to the financing, though its contribution will only be released once tZERO confirms a binding agreement tied to a strategic transaction, such as a change of control, a substantial sale of assets, or a merger with a SPAC or another entity.
The capital forms part of a broader, long-term funding strategy designed to underpin tZERO’s growth as the company moves toward a strategic transaction aimed at strengthening its financial independence over the long run.
tZERO continues to build out its infrastructure-as-a-service offering for tokenised securities and other assets, linking tokenisation, trading, custody and asset servicing so that financial institutions can bring blockchain-based assets to market through regulated channels.
tZERO and its broker-dealer subsidiaries run a liquidity platform for private companies and assets, giving issuers institutional-grade tools to digitise their capital tables through blockchain technology and make the resulting equity available for trading on an alternative trading system.
tZERO Chief Executive Officer Alan Konevsky said, “This funding supports tZERO’s operations and execution as we work to position the Company for capital independence and continue to commercialize and expand the infrastructure for tokenized financial markets. We are grateful to our participating investors for their confidence in our business.”
tZERO lead investor Marc Cohodes said, “This is my third investment round in tZERO over the last eight years. I believe that tZERO has never been in a stronger position or better managed and has a leading robust pipeline for its infrastructure services with a range of institutional clients. I cannot be more proud of Alan and his team and look forward to tZERO continuing to work to become one of the most important companies in the next era of financial markets.”
