Toronto's Tokenwell Crypto Platform To Launch U.S. Subsidiary in Dallas' Y'All Street

Toronto-based Tokenwell Platforms announced that it’s incorporating a wholly owned U.S. subsidiary in Dallas and activating a virtual office on “Y’all Street,” home to the newly formed Texas Stock Exchange (TXSE), to become part of one of the nation’s top digital asset ecosystems.

The incorporation and office activation are expected to be completed by the end of the year. Tokenwell said that this move is intended to position the company alongside major industry players who have already established a presence in Texas, including the global exchange Coinbase, which recently moved significant operations to the state to benefit from its pro-innovation regulatory environment.

“Texas is quickly becoming the epicentre of America’s digital asset economy,” Timothy Burgess, CFA, chief executive officer of Tokenwell, said in a statement. “Our expansion into Dallas is aimed at providing Tokenwell with a strategic presence in the U.S. market, proximity to institutional participants, and better opportunity alignment with innovators shaping the next era of blockchain finance.”

Texas-centric strategy

As part of its U.S. strategy, Tokenwell said it plans to join the Texas Blockchain Council (TBC), a leading nonprofit organization with over 10,000 individual constituents and more than 90 corporate members, which includes industry peers such as Crypto.com and Coinbase.

The TBC works to advance digital asset innovation, shape pro-growth policy, and promote collaboration between the industry and government. Tokenwell said that TBC membership will provide direct access to policymakers, founders, institutional investors, and technology leaders, with the objective of strengthening the company’s relationships throughout the state of Texas.

By establishing its subsidiary and virtual office on Y’all Street, Tokenwell said it will become part of an “emerging financial corridor designed to complement and rival traditional hubs like Wall Street.”

Y’all Street—which is more of an emerging financial hub in the Dallas region than a tightly bordered location like Wall Street—is the home of the Texas Stock Exchange, a number of digital asset firms, fintech innovators, bitcoin mining operators, and crypto exchanges and custodians. Other big players are making their own moves into Y’all Street include NYSE Texas, Nasdaq Texas, and ScotiaBank.

Texas offers a combination of regulatory clarity, political support, and accelerating institutional adoption, which should create a strong foundation for Tokenwell’s U.S. expansion, the company said. Tokenwell’s U.S. expansion includes plans to develop index-based crypto baskets, advance decentralized finance integrations, and continue establishing partnerships with additional U.S. exchanges.

Tokenwell said it is a publicly listed “cutting-edge cryptocurrency platform dedicated to making digital assets accessible, secure, and efficient for users worldwide.”
