The tZERO ATS Traded $22.0M in Digital
Securities; Total Crypto App Users Grew by 11% Over the Prior
Month
tZERO, a leader in financial innovation and liquidity for
private companies, announced today several records achieved in
August 2020.
The tZERO ATS, operated by a wholly-owned broker dealer
subsidiary of tZERO, recorded its strongest month ever in August
2020. It traded over 2.3M digital securities, a 21x increase
compared to August 2019, and transacted nearly $22.0M of
securities, exceeding the previous record of $7.6M set in July.
Year-to-date through August, the total volume of shares traded on
the tZERO ATS has increased by over 300% compared to the same
period last year, and the total dollar volume for the same period
is likewise up roughly 684%.
The tZERO Crypto app, separately operated by tZERO’s subsidiary,
tZERO Crypto, Inc., increased its user base by over 11% last month,
the highest monthly account increase to date. Through August 31,
2020, user growth is up 143% for 2020. The tZERO Crypto app also
had its most transactions by both total amount and dollar value
since the app launched in June 2019.
tZERO CEO Saum Noursalehi stated, “In addition to delivering
record trading volume on the tZERO ATS in August, the St. Regis
Aspen (ASPD) digital security began trading. The tZERO Crypto app
also added over a thousand new users last month. These wins,
coupled with FINRA’s approval of tZERO Markets, are exciting, and
we look forward to offering our crypto customers the opportunity to
open brokerage accounts at tZERO Markets. Overall, our recent
accomplishments underscore the investor demand for digital
assets.”
