TradingBlock to Join Nant Global Finance in Blockchain-Enabled Capital Markets Platform

TradingBlock, a Chicago-based online brokerage, said it will join Nant Global Finance, Inc., a newly formed capital markets platform focused on modernizing public-market infrastructure using blockchain-enabled settlement technology, subject to final FINRA approvals. The companies said TradingBlock customers should see no immediate changes to platforms, tools, or account relationships, and that TradingBlock will continue operating as a regulated broker-dealer while it works with Nant on longer-term initiatives.
