RQD* Accelerates Tokenized Market Entry with $74 Million Investment

RQD* Clearing, a cornerstone of U.S. securities trading, has secured a $74 million capital infusion to meet the rising demand for digital assets.

The Infrastructure Frontline of Tokenization

The proliferation of tokenized securities is redefining not only trading volume but also security, risk management, and settlement frameworks. RQD* aims to fill this gap, accelerating the integration of traditional securities into the digital ecosystem.

Market Share and Operational Metrics

RQD*’s performance in traditional markets showcases its role as a pioneer for digital transition. The firm has processed 515 million equity trades, amounting to roughly $2 trillion in value—about 2.4 % of NMS equity trading.

DTCC Collaboration and 24/5 Solution

In March, a partnership with Blue Ocean Technologies targeted clearing and settlement infrastructure for tokenized NMS equities. This initiative aligns with DTCC’s push toward 24/5 clearing, meeting off‑hour trading needs.

Anvil’s Innovative Collateral Layer

Anvil operates on a programmable letter of credit, using reserve assets as guarantees—no loan, no interest—while preserving custody and yield.

RQD*’s strategic move signals that tokenized securities are not just a trend but a sustainable ecosystem. Digitalizing clearing and custody will empower 24/7 market participation and markedly improve risk management.
