We’ve joined The Digital Chamber, the largest digital asset and blockchain trade association in the United States, as a member, further strengthening our commitment to shaping the future of financial services.
At Alpaca, our mission has always been to open financial services to everyone on the planet by building the global infrastructure for investing, including bringing them on-chain. As a leader in brokerage infrastructure for tokenized US stocks, joining The Digital Chamber represents an important step in advancing that mission alongside leaders working to define the next era of finance.
Bridging TradFi and On-Chain Finance
We believe the financial system is evolving. The lines between traditional finance and digital assets are converging, and it’s happening at a rapid pace.
We’re seeing this convergence firsthand with partners like Ondo Finance, Kraken (xStocks), and Dinari. Our brokerage infrastructure and Instant Tokenization Network is designed to connect traditional financial systems with emerging on-chain technologies through APIs, helping facilitate interoperability between fiat and digital asset ecosystems.
Why The Digital Chamber
The Digital Chamber plays a critical role in advocating for policies and frameworks that support responsible innovation in blockchain and digital assets. As regulation, infrastructure, and adoption continue to evolve, collaboration between industry leaders is more important than ever.
By joining The Digital Chamber, Alpaca aims to:
- Contribute to policy discussions shaping the future of digital assets
- Support responsible innovation across global markets
- Collaborate with industry leaders building the next generation of financial infrastructure
About the membership, Edward Nasti, our VP of Legal, said: "The convergence of traditional finance and on-chain systems calls for thoughtful dialogue between innovators and regulators to ensure these systems can scale responsibly. By joining The Digital Chamber, Alpaca is reinforcing its commitment to participating in industry conversations that support a more open and globally accessible financial system."
“We’re excited to welcome Alpaca to The Digital Chamber,” said Cody Carbone, CEO of The Digital Chamber. “Their work bridging traditional financial systems with digital asset infrastructure reflects the kind of innovation we’re proud to support and plays an important role in the growth of the ecosystem. We look forward to collaborating as part of our member community.”
Building the Financial System of the Future
We believe the future financial system will not be defined by silos, but by interoperability. A system where traditional assets, digital assets, and global access coexist. That future requires robust, compliant, and developer-first infrastructure, the foundation Alpaca has been building since day one.
Joining The Digital Chamber is a natural extension of our work: helping bridge worlds that were once separate, and accelerating the transition toward a more open, programmable, and globally accessible financial system.
Building on this momentum, our Co-Founder and CEO, Yoshi Yokokawa, recently spoke at The Digital Chamber’s 2026 DC Blockchain Summit. We look forward to continuing to engage with the community through future events, and collaborate with fellow members to help shape what comes next.

Additional geographic restrictions may apply for tokenization services based on local regulatory requirements. Neither Alpaca Crypto LLC nor Alpaca Securities LLC are the issuer of, nor directly involved in, the tokenization of any assets. Tokenization is performed by a third party.

As such, holders of tokenized assets have no voting rights, dividend entitlements, or legal claims to the underlying company shares or any residual assets in the event of the underlying company’s liquidation or insolvency, unless explicitly stated otherwise. All investments involve risk. For more information, please see our Tokenization Risk Disclosure.

Alpaca Securities offers a cash management program pursuant to the FDIC Bank Sweep. Customer funds are treated differently and are subject to separate regulatory regimes depending on whether customer funds are held in their brokerage account or within the FDIC Bank Sweep. Alpaca Securities is a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC), which protects securities customers of its members up to $500,000 (including $250,000 for claims for cash). The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insures up to $250,000 per deposit against the failure of an FDIC member bank.
