Wintermute Expands Regulated Reach with US Broker-Dealer Launch

Wintermute has taken a significant step into the US market by launching its affiliate Wintermute USA LLC as a registered broker-dealer. The move marks a formal entry into regulated markets, with the firm now able to trade traditional equities and equity options, act as an Authorized Participant for exchange-traded products, and self-clear digital asset securities transactions.

The registration is a key milestone in Wintermute's institutional expansion across US markets, strategically positioning the firm for the emerging tokenized securities landscape. According to Evgeny Gaevoy, Founder and CEO of Wintermute, 'digital assets and traditional finance will continue to develop in parallel, intersect in new ways, and ultimately integrate more deeply.'

Wintermute USA LLC is headquartered in New York and operates with a dedicated local team. The firm focuses exclusively on proprietary trading and ETP services.
