Wintermute has obtained a US broker-dealer license, allowing it to engage in regulated proprietary trading and pursue designated market maker status, aiming to compete with established firms like Citadel Securities and Jane Street over five years.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Obtaining a US broker-dealer license moves you closer to regulated markets where tokenized securities and crypto ETFs will demand trusted players. If you build trading infrastructure around digital assets, you're now facing a new competitor ready to challenge incumbents in the regulated US market.
