Breaking: Prometheum Launches Ethereum Custody As Security Offering

As a crypto investor with a background in legal compliance and a strong belief in the importance of regulation in the digital asset space, I’m excited about Prometheum’s Ethereum custody service. The company’s stance on Ethereum as a security registered under current Federal laws is not only significant but also groundbreaking.


As a diligent market analyst, I’ve come across an intriguing development: Digital assets platform Prometheum has quietly introduced their Ethereum custody service for a soft launch. They aim to fully unveil their crypto offerings by the end of this quarter, marking a first in the digital currency ecosystem as reported exclusively by Fortune.

Prometheum Stance on Ethereum

Prometheum entered the digital currency scene, drawing attention for its contentious viewpoint on the classification of various assets, such as Ethereum, in terms of their security status. According to Prometheum’s perspective, Ethereum falls under the category of securities that are subject to existing federal regulations. Their Ethereum custody service serves as an initial step in this direction.

Despite the widespread belief that it’s difficult to categorize assets like Ethereum as securities, Prometheum successfully did so. Likewise, while some industry experts held that registering with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) was an insurmountable challenge, Prometheum achieved this milestone.

In February, Prometheum chose Ethereum as the initial asset for its custody service. Notable co-founder of the platform, Aaron Kaplan, is often viewed as a strong advocate or backer of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

In an interview with Fortune, Kaplan stated, “This eliminates many contentious debates over what’s legally permissible. It signifies a groundbreaking moment as we witness the first instance of a digital asset security being held and regulated under securities law.”

The Prometheum service for safeguarding Ethereum assets caters to asset managers, crypto-centric hedge funds, and banks along with other entities. Despite the contentious support from FINRA and the SEC, Prometheum is poised to delve into the expanding Ethereum infrastructure.
