Listen 0:00 10 News COINTELEGRAPH IN YOUR SOCIAL FEED TZero Group, a New York–based blockchain infrastructure company specializing in tokenized securities and real-world assets, has announced plans to go public in 2026. The company on Monday disclosed plans for an initial public offering (IPO) in the United States. Founded in 2014, tZero helps companies raise capital and trade securities on blockchain-based platforms under US securities laws, including private offerings. CEO Alan Konevsky told Bloomberg that tZero is in talks with several banks but hasn’t chosen an underwriter. He said tZero, which employs just over 50 people and isn’t yet profitable, may also pursue an additional funding round ahead of the listing. Tokenization is the process of turning real-world assets — such as fiat currencies, stocks and real estate — into digital tokens on a blockchain, enabling them to be traded 24/7 online. The public offering, according to tZero, reflects a view that asset tokenization will play a central role in making capital formation and cross-border transactions more efficient. The company, which also lists its tokenized shares, has raised about $200 million, according to Konevsky. Intercontinental Exchange, owner of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), is a tZero investor.
