Copper US arm becomes FINRA member, SEC-registered broker-dealer
Summary
Copper’s US entity, Copper Markets (US) Inc., has become a SEC-registered broker-dealer and FINRA member, giving the firm a regulated presence in the US. This lets Copper expand its institutional custody and trading infrastructure into the American market. The US arm plans to offer qualified custody, staking, financing, OTC services, and access to its ClearLoop Network, which lets institutions move crypto and tokenized assets as collateral between counterparties. Copper said the registration supports its role as a “Qualified Custodian” under SEC rules for broker-dealers holding client assets.
