Blockchain Firm tZero Targets 2026 IPO as Tokenization Gains Momentum
tZero Group, a New York-based blockchain infrastructure company specializing in tokenized securities and real-world assets (RWA), is positioning itself for a 2026 U.S. initial public offering. The MOVE reflects growing institutional confidence in blockchain-based capital markets as tokenization emerges as a transformative force in finance.
CEO Alan Konevsky confirmed advanced discussions with potential underwriters and hinted at an interim funding round. The firm, backed by Intercontinental Exchange (NYSE's parent company), has raised $200 million to date but remains pre-revenue with a lean team of 50 employees.
Analysts project the RWA market could reach $16 trillion by 2030, with tokenization potentially unlocking $400 trillion in traditionally illiquid assets. tZero's regulatory-compliant platform enables securities issuance and trading under U.S. oversight, bridging legacy finance with blockchain infrastructure.
