Our Pitch
The Ohanae Story

Tokenized Securities. Made Simple.

The regulated on-chain market infrastructure for tokenized securities.

 

Defining the Next Market Structure

Ohanae, Inc. is building the regulated market infrastructure where tokenized securities will trade — outside the National Market System (NMS).

This is not a tokenization platform.
This is the market itself.

As capital markets transition on-chain, value will not accrue to those who tokenize assets — it will accrue to those who control liquidity, settlement, and market structure. Ohanae is purpose-built to operate that layer.

Rather than retrofitting blockchain into legacy exchange and clearing systems, Ohanae is designed from first principles for securities that cannot efficiently operate within Reg NMS — delivering native ownership, dealer-principal liquidity, and atomic settlement in a single integrated system.

 

A New Class of Market Infrastructure

The platform is being developed by Ohanae Securities LLC, which has applied for registration as a Special Purpose Broker-Dealer (SPBD).

Upon approval, the platform is designed to function as fully integrated market infrastructure, expected to support:

  • Primary issuance across S-1, Reg A, Reg D, and investment contract assets (ICAs)
  • Secondary trading via dealer-principal execution 
  • Custody of crypto asset securities and private keys 
  • Transfer agency with on-chain ownership as system of record 
  • Settlement through a native payment rail (OUSD) 

Ohanae Securities LLC is not currently approved as a Special Purpose Broker-Dealer, and theres capabilities will not be available unless and until such approval is obtained.

 

Liquidity, Not Listings, Defines the Market

Ohanae operates in a dealer-principal capacity, providing continuous 24x7 liquidity through a Hybrid AMM combined with institutional market makers.

There is no reliance on:

  • Exchanges 
  • Clearing intermediaries 
  • T+1 settlement cycles 

Settlement is instant and cash-only, powered by Ohanae Coin (OUSD) — a tokenized representation of U.S. dollar deposits held in a Special Reserve Account under SEC Rule 15c3-3.

This eliminates counterparty risk, margin dependency, and settlement friction — enabling a fundamentally different market structure.

 

The Structural Shift

Two models are now emerging in tokenized securities:

1. Legacy Extension
Tokenization within Reg NMS — constrained by exchange-centric models, intermediated clearing, and limited innovation

2. Clean-Slate Markets
Purpose-built infrastructure for non-NMS securities — enabling native ownership, continuous liquidity, and atomic settlement

Ohanae is not competing within the first model.
It is defining and operating the second.

 

Regulatory Positioning

Ohanae Securities LLC is approaching final FINRA approval as a Special Purpose Broker-Dealer (SPBD), positioning Ohanae to operate the first regulated, cash-only, on-chain market infrastructures for securities.

Initial focus is on non-NMS securities, where regulatory clarity and structural advantages are strongest. Expansion into NMS-linked assets will follow as regulatory frameworks evolve.

 

Why It Matters

The next phase of capital markets will not be defined by who brings assets on-chain —
but by who operates the market where they trade.

Ohanae is building that market.
