Nant Global Finance: Funding Rounds, Investors & CEO

About Nant Global Finance

Nant Global Finance serves broker-dealers and investors with a system for issuing, trading and settling public and digital securities. It combines regulated brokerage and exchange operations with services that maintain ownership records. Blockchain technology supports tokenized securities, which represent investments digitally, and aims to settle trades almost immediately under existing U.S. securities laws.

Nant Global Finance is a Delaware holding company based in Woodbury, New York. Its planned group includes three U.S. broker-dealers, two U.S. transfer agents and a global exchange operator. Mark Elenowitz is chief executive officer, and Vincent Molinari is president.

Why Investors Backed Nant Global Finance

Nant Global Finance is assembling regulated market businesses around blockchain-based trading and settlement. Its strategy centers on public securities rather than only private digital assets. The model joins licensed operations across several market functions. Several planned transactions and its trading venue still require regulatory approval.

The problem it targets

Nant Global Finance's case is that current market systems do not settle large securities volumes quickly or cheaply enough. It also sees a divide between conventional public markets and blockchain markets. The company aims to shorten settlement, improve transparency and reduce counterparty risk while following existing securities laws. Its regulatory dependencies may slow the broker acquisitions and planned trading venue.

What the product does

After approvals, the group plans to connect brokerage, investment banking and a securities trading venue with transfer agency, custody and clearing. Smart-contract engineering would support tokenized public securities. Custom-branded apps would let U.S. and international broker-dealers reach the planned venue.

Progress so far

TradingBlock announced on January 15, 2026, that it would join Nant Global Finance, subject to final FINRA approval. Founded in 2003, the online broker serves active and professional traders with U.S. stock, options and futures access. Benzinga named it the 2025 Best Brokerage for Options Trading. Six days later, My IPO announced its own planned move. That platform focuses on public-offering access, and its customers were told to expect continuity. The AOS, Digital Offering and Arkonis acquisitions remained pending approval. Nant Global Finance held 24% and planned to buy the remaining 76% after FINRA action.

Who backs it

Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong supports Nant Global Finance. The Los Angeles Times is a strategic shareholder and marketing partner. Its media group also offers marketing support, including a New York Stock Exchange partnership for floor-based broadcasting. Nant Global Finance brings proprietary software, blockchain infrastructure and a patent portfolio to the plan. Together, the media relationship and owned technology support its planned market platform.

How the market is moving

Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong puts daily securities trading at nearly $3 trillion. In his view, tokenization can make settlement almost immediate and less costly. Vincent Molinari argues that regulatory clarity and current federal leadership have opened public securities to blockchain. Nant Global Finance therefore expects tokenization to move beyond private securities and into national-market stocks.
