华尔街加速布局代币化市场，RQD Clearing获贝恩资本领投7400万美元融资

Odaily Odaily News: U.S. clearing and custody firm RQD* Clearing has announced the completion of a $74 million funding round, led by Bain Capital Tech Opportunities, the technology investment arm of Bain Capital, with participation from ABN AMRO Clearing Bank and Nyca Partners.

RQD* stated that the funding will be used to expand operations in North America, Asia, and the Middle East, and to bolster infrastructure development in areas such as digital asset custody and asset tokenization.

RQD* primarily provides post-trade clearing and custody services for brokers, investment advisors, and overseas financial institutions in U.S. markets, handling critical functions such as securities and fund settlement and risk management. So far this year, the company has processed approximately 515 million equity trades, involving amounts close to $2 trillion, representing roughly 2.4% of U.S. National Market System (NMS) equity trading volume.

As Wall Street institutions accelerate their exploration of on-chain finance, traditional market infrastructure is becoming a key battleground for tokenized assets. RQD* has previously partnered with Blue Ocean Technologies to advance the clearing and settlement infrastructure for tokenized U.S. equities, while also aligning with the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation's (DTCC) tokenized securities framework.
