Arqitech and ThinkEquity partner on multi-asset trading platform

Arqitech, Inc. has struck a deal with ThinkEquity LLC to build a multi-asset trading platform under the ThinkEquity brand. The platform will support a wide range of assets, including stocks, bonds, cryptocurrencies, prediction markets, and tokenized assets. ThinkEquity, a member firm of the New York Stock Exchange and FINRA, will offer these services under its own name, with compliance and reporting tailored to its existing procedures.

Arqitech’s platform allows firms to integrate multiple asset classes into a single system, avoiding the need to build separate infrastructures for each market. The service includes onboarding, compliance, and reporting, all mapped to the firm’s written supervisory procedures. ThinkEquity can choose to enable crypto, prediction markets, and tokenized assets only after securing the necessary approvals.

Brian Wasserman, CEO of Arqitech, emphasized the platform’s ability to meet client expectations for a unified multi-asset account. The deal comes as industry leaders like BlackRock CEO Larry Fink highlight tokenization as a major evolution in market infrastructure. The DTCC is also advancing tokenization by digitizing U.S. Treasuries on the Canton Network.

Arqitech operates as a validator on the Canton Network and does not take custody of client funds or securities. The company’s platform is designed for independent broker-dealers seeking a white-labeled solution for diverse asset trading. ThinkEquity’s team has collectively facilitated over $100 billion in public and private raises, restructurings, and mergers and acquisitions.
