Crypto market maker Wintermute has secured approval from the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to trade equities and exchange-traded fund (ETF) blocks, according to CoinDesk.
This regulatory green light marks an important expansion for Wintermute, traditionally focused on digital asset liquidity, enabling the firm to broaden its trading activities into mainstream financial markets.
For Japanese investors, this development highlights the ongoing integration between crypto-focused firms and traditional equity markets, potentially influencing cross-border trading dynamics in both FX and equities sectors.
