The funding will be used to scale Ironlight Markets’ Alternative Trading System and Ironlight Technologies.

Ironlight Markets’ ATS operates pursuant to SEC Regulation ATS and under FINRA oversight.

Rob McGrath, CEO, Ironlight Group Inc. said:
“Ironlight Group was built to modernize core market systems in a way institutions can adopt. This financing accelerates the build-out of a marketplace that unifies core capital markets functions within the U.S. regulatory framework.”
The firm’s ecosystem is designed to support tokenised securities across private equity, structured products, fixed income, private credit and real estate. By combining traditional market structure with blockchain-native atomic settlement, the platform aims to streamline post-trade workflows for institutional participants and wealth advisers.
Hugh Regan, Managing Member, Investment Banking & Alternative Investments, Laidlaw Private Equity said:
“The question is no longer whether assets can be tokenized; it's whether institutions can trade them safely. We believe Ironlight Group is building the missing layer of infrastructure to support institutional participation in tokenized securities markets.”
Ironlight Group said it is advancing development of its marketplace following the recent appointment of Greg Braca as Executive Chairman, as tokenised securities continue to gain traction across private markets and alternative assets.
Ironlight Group Inc. is an Austin-based financial technology firm developing infrastructure for global tokenised securities markets. Its subsidiary, Ironlight Markets, LLC (CRD 330576), is a registered broker-dealer and FINRA member that conducts M&A advisory, private placements and operates an Alternative Trading System for digital and traditional securities.
