was built around this very notion, and I am excited to contribute
to bringing digital assets securities to traditional and retail
investors through the first public, full service capital markets

digital assets, but a sword and a shield, assisting and protecting
investors, and we're excited to be bringing on an industry expert
that shares that same mindset," said Aaron
Kaplan, Founder and Co-CEO of Prometheum. "Rosemarie has a
deep understanding of the regulatory landscape and brings
invaluable experience to our team. She will play an integral role
