Today's news comes on the heels of Prometheum's recent acquisition, pending

regulatory approval, of a licensed broker-dealer and the SEC approval of its

wholly-owned transfer agent, Spark Transfer Services. With these milestones,

Prometheum continues to progress in its quest to build the first compliant,

public ecosystem for digital asset securities.

"This funding affirms the belief our investors have in our business model and

the growing need for a compliant public market infrastructure for digital

assets securities," said Aaron Kaplan, co-CEO of Prometheum. "We remain

steadfast in our commitment to create the bridge between traditional Wall

Street and the 21st-century digital asset market."

Founded by top Wall Street securities attorneys, Prometheum has successfully

leveraged its deep expertise in securities regulations to create compliant

blockchain infrastructure for issuers, retail investors, and financial

professionals. Despite the pandemic, the company built momentum in 2020,

culminating in today's funding announcement.

"This capital infusion will accelerate the growth of the Prometheum ecosystem

by allowing us to hire critical personnel, further our blockchain and trading

technology and focus on strategic growth initiatives as we get closer to

launch," said Benjamin Kaplan, co-CEO of Prometheum. "We are proud of what we

have accomplished in 2020 and with the increased interest we are seeing in

digital asset securities, we enter 2021 with the momentum we need to innovate

and evolve our offering to support a diverse spectrum of investors."
