Global leading digital asset prime broker LTP announced today that the company has successfully obtained the Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL) issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC). This significant breakthrough in compliance marks another core achievement for LTP in advancing global compliance and building institutional-level infrastructure strategy.

The newly approved AFSL license allows LTP to operate under Australia's mature and stringent financial regulatory framework, authorized specifically to provide financial product advice and financial product trading services (including transaction arrangement and execution) to wholesale clients. This structural capability is important for the allocation of institutional capital in the realm of the intersection between digital assets and traditional assets.

According to ASIC-approved qualifications, LTP's licensed business scope covers core asset categories at the intersection of traditional finance and digital finance, specifically including:

• Securities: Providing consulting and trading execution services for traditional securities and tokenized securities;
• Managed investment schemes: Involving the structural design and trading of fund equities, which also serve as the main legal vehicles for real-world assets (RWA);
• Deposit and payment products: Supporting institutional-level clearing, liquidity management, and underlying cash management infrastructure.

More importantly, this regulatory authorization places LTP at the forefront of the development of tokenized real-world assets (Tokenized Real-World Assets, RWA).

According to Australian law and ASIC INFO 225 guidelines, most tokenized structures—including fractionalized real estate, private credit pools, and digital debt instruments—are classified as managed investment schemes (MIS) or securities. By obtaining the relevant authorization, LTP can provide a compliant channel for global institutional investors to access on-chain financial tools within a fully compliant regulatory framework.

"Obtaining the AFSL is a key cornerstone in LTP's long-term strategy. Our vision is to create a seamless and compliant bridge between traditional capital markets and the digital asset ecosystem," said Jack Yang, Founder and CEO of LTP. "We believe the tokenization of financial instruments will define the direction of the future financial system's development. For LTP, maintaining strict regulatory cooperation is not only a compliance requirement but also one of our core competitive advantages in expanding institutional-level liquidity and RWA infrastructure globally."

With the acquisition of this license, LTP is also continuously expanding its compliance framework across multiple jurisdictions, further enhancing its institutional service capabilities aimed at professional funds, market makers, asset management institutions, and capital market participants.
