Wintermute USA has obtained SEC broker-dealer registration and FINRA membership, enabling it to operate within the US broker regulatory framework. This license grants access to the Authorized Participant role for ETFs, Designated Market Maker status on the NYSE and Nasdaq, and the ability to trade tokenized securities. The firm, which claims over 10 billion dollars in average daily volume across more than 60 platforms, aims to compete with Jane Street, Citadel Securities and Jump Trading within three to five years. Wintermute is specifically targeting the convergence of traditional markets and blockchain infrastructure, a segment where broker-dealer licensing is essential for large-scale operations in the United States.
