tZERO and PandoAlts Integration Creates New Institutional Connectivity Layer for Alternative Assets

The partnership between tZERO Group, Inc. and PandoAlts represents a significant advancement in institutional access to alternative assets by creating a direct connection between allocator demand and asset supply. This integration links tZERO's broker-dealers to the PandoAlts allocator network, enabling real-time indications of interest from institutional users while simultaneously surfacing available assets from tZERO's platform to allocators actively seeking exposure. The collaboration addresses a longstanding challenge in alternative markets by providing clear visibility into verified investor demand across various asset classes including private markets, private credit, real assets, and structured investments.

By establishing this new connective layer between allocators, brokers, and issuers, the partnership replaces fragmented sourcing methods and opaque workflows with institutional-grade connectivity and normalization infrastructure. PandoAlts operates a demand-driven order management system where allocators submit indications of interest for specific alternative exposures, bringing public market execution concepts into private markets. The system standardizes demand visibility and normalizes post-trade data into wealth managers' systems of record, enhancing price discovery and supporting allocators in meeting their best execution obligations. According to Alan Konevsky, CEO of tZERO, "This partnership brings something the alternatives market has historically lacked – a direct line between allocator demand and asset supply."

The integration strengthens tZERO's institutional distribution reach while providing issuers access to verified, real-time investor interest through PandoAlts' IOI network. For institutional investors, this means more efficient access to alternative assets without the typical friction involved in establishing new dealer and issuer relationships. Cash Lafferty, Founder and CEO of PandoAlts, emphasized that "allocators are increasingly explicit about the exposures they want, and PandoAlts provides the infrastructure to translate that demand into executable workflows, translated digitally for ingestion by investor reporting tools at the wealth management firm." The partnership aligns with tZERO's broader strategy to serve as a connectivity layer across both tokenized and traditional assets, combining regulated brokerage, trading, custody, and tokenization capabilities with PandoAlts' institutional distribution channels.

This development represents a meaningful step toward modernizing alternative market infrastructure by introducing standardized, transparent workflows that reduce operational friction. The integration enables institutional capital to access alternative assets more efficiently while maintaining regulatory compliance through tZERO's regulated platform.

The partnership reinforces PandoAlts' mission to deliver neutral, institutional-grade infrastructure for alternatives while expanding its network of market participants. By connecting verified allocator demand directly with available asset supply, this collaboration addresses key inefficiencies that have historically limited institutional participation in private markets and alternative investments.
