Digital asset securities growth is bottlenecked by market infrastructure, regulatory , and distribution challenges.
Current traditional financial market infrastructure is not compatible with DAS.

Prometheum has developed advanced market and custodial technology by taking aspects of traditional and digital markets to build a full-service digital assets securities ecosystem.
A Special Purpose Broker-Dealer (SPBD) license is a regulatory framework introduced in the United States by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in 2020 to address the unique challenges of handling digital asset securities. It is designed to enable broker-dealers to custody and transact in security tokens subject to federal securities laws.
