depositary receipts financial

"the ability to issue depositary receipts (DR) on digital and alternative assets"

A depositary receipt is a certificate issued by a bank that represents ownership of shares in a foreign company and can be bought and sold on a local stock exchange. Think of it as a proxy share held in a safe abroad so investors can trade and receive dividends in their own market and currency, making it easier to access foreign companies while exposing investors to the issuer’s underlying business and cross‑border risks.

digital assets technical

"issue depositary receipts (DR) on digital and alternative assets"

Digital assets are electronic files or representations of value stored electronically, such as cryptocurrencies, digital tokens, or digital art. They matter to investors because they can be bought, sold, and used for transactions much like physical assets, but exist entirely in digital form, offering new opportunities for investment and financial innovation.

View in glossary

alternative assets financial

"issue depositary receipts (DR) on digital and alternative assets"

Investments that sit outside traditional stocks, bonds and cash—examples include real estate, private equity, hedge funds, commodities, collectibles and some cryptocurrencies. They matter to investors because they can offer different returns and risks, reduce exposure to market swings and provide access to income or growth sources not tied to public markets; think of them as adding different ingredients to a portfolio’s recipe to balance flavor and risk, though they often trade less frequently and can carry higher fees.

capital markets financial

"connecting asset issuers, intermediaries, and U.S. capital markets through regulated"

Capital markets are places where people and organizations buy and sell long-term investments like stocks and bonds. They help connect those who need money to grow or fund projects with investors looking to earn returns over time. For investors, capital markets are important because they offer opportunities to invest, save, and grow their wealth through a variety of financial assets.

broker-dealers financial

"including banks, broker-dealers, market makers, custodians, and exchange partners"

A broker-dealer is a firm or individual that helps people buy and sell securities and may also trade those securities for its own account. Think of it like a market clerk who can either match a buyer with a seller or sell items from the shop’s shelves; investors rely on broker-dealers to execute trades, custody assets, provide market access and advice, and their actions and fees can affect trade speed, cost and potential conflicts of interest.

market makers financial

"including banks, broker-dealers, market makers, custodians, and exchange partners"

Market makers are firms or traders who always stand ready to buy and sell a stock by posting continuous bid and ask prices, acting like a store that both sells and buys the same product so customers can trade anytime. They matter to investors because they keep trades flowing and determine the bid-ask spread — which affects how quickly orders execute and how much investors pay or receive when buying or selling shares.

custodians financial

"including banks, broker-dealers, market makers, custodians, and exchange partners"

Custodians are banks or specialized firms that hold and safeguard securities and cash on behalf of investors, acting like a vault and record-keeper for financial assets. They handle tasks such as processing transfers, collecting dividends or interest, and keeping official ownership records, so investors can focus on decisions rather than safekeeping. Reliable custodians reduce the risk of loss or paperwork errors and are important for trust, liquidity and operational safety in investing.

exchange partners financial

"market makers, custodians, and exchange partners"

Exchange partners are other firms and service providers that work with a trading venue—such as broker-dealers, firms that match buyers and sellers, companies that settle trades, and technology providers—to make listing, buying, selling and clearing of securities or digital assets possible. They matter to investors because these relationships shape how fast and cheaply trades happen, how much liquidity is available, and how reliable the market is—like the roads, tolls and traffic control that determine how smooth a journey will be.

The proceeds from the round will support three strategic priorities. First, RDC will accelerate the development of its next-generation DR product offerings across a wider range of asset categories. Second, the company will expand its go-to-market efforts and deepen relationships across the DR ecosystem, including banks, broker-dealers, market makers, custodians, and exchange partners. Third, RDC will continue scaling its team across product, operations, technology, and commercial functions.
