Financing included participation from Senior Financial Executives and Institutional Investors to Support Expansion of Digital Trading, Distribution, and Settlement Systems

Ironlight Group, Inc. (“Ironlight”), a financial technology company developing infrastructure for tokenized securities, announced the close of its $21 million Series A financing.

The round was backed by senior Wall Street and financial services executives, including Greg Braca, former President and CEO of TD Bank, alongside institutional investors such as Sei Development Foundation and Laidlaw Private Equity.

Proceeds will be used to scale Ironlight Markets’ ATS which integrates issuance, distribution, and trading, and Ironlight Technologies which provides the platform and settlement options for tokenized securities. Ironlight Markets’ ATS is operated pursuant to SEC Regulation ATS and FINRA oversight.

“Ironlight Group was built to modernize core market systems in a way institutions can adopt,” said Rob McGrath, CEO of Ironlight Group Inc. “This financing accelerates the build-out of a marketplace that unifies core capital markets functions within the U.S. regulatory framework.”

Ironlight’s ecosystem supports tokenized securities across private equity, structured products, fixed income, private credit, and real estate. By combining traditional market structure with blockchain-native, atomic settlement, the platform enables more efficient post-trade workflows for institutions and wealth advisors.

“The question is no longer whether assets can be tokenized; it’s whether institutions can trade them safely. We believe Ironlight Group is building the missing layer of infrastructure to support institutional participation in tokenized securities markets.” said Hugh Regan, Managing Member, Investment Banking & Alternative Investments at Laidlaw Private Equity.

Following the recent appointment of Greg Braca as Executive Chairman, Ironlight Group is advancing development of its marketplace as tokenized securities gain traction across private markets and alternative assets.

CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October

CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October

The post CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. CME Group is preparing to launch options on SOL and XRP futures next month, giving traders new ways to manage exposure to the two assets.  The contracts are set to go live on October 13, pending regulatory approval, and will come in both standard and micro sizes with expiries offered daily, monthly and quarterly. The new listings mark a major step for CME, which first brought bitcoin futures to market in 2017 and added ether contracts in 2021. Solana and XRP futures have quickly gained traction since their debut earlier this year. CME says more than 540,000 Solana contracts (worth about $22.3 billion), and 370,000 XRP contracts (worth $16.2 billion), have already been traded. Both products hit record trading activity and open interest in August. Market makers including Cumberland and FalconX plan to support the new contracts, arguing that institutional investors want hedging tools beyond bitcoin and ether. CME’s move also highlights the growing demand for regulated ways to access a broader set of digital assets. The launch, which still needs the green light from regulators, follows the end of XRP’s years-long legal fight with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. A federal court ruling in 2023 found that institutional sales of XRP violated securities laws, but programmatic exchange sales did not. The case officially closed in August 2025 after Ripple agreed to pay a $125 million fine, removing one of the biggest uncertainties hanging over the token. This is a developing story.
