Bitfinex Securities, a regulated platform for trading tokenized securities, today announced significant updates to its account architecture. This eliminates separate securities subaccounts and enables native support for security tokens in master and standard trading accounts.
The El Salvador-based exchange no longer requires users to maintain a separate sub-account for their security tokens. The revised framework will show tokenized assets alongside digital currencies in exchange wallets, allowing for integrated monitoring of portfolios.
Existing securities sub-accounts will be migrated to regular trading sub-accounts without affecting balances, login details, 2FA settings or withdrawal permissions, the company said.
Jesse Knutson, who oversees the company’s operations, said the update reflects Bitfinex Securities’ focus on improving access to advanced financial products.
“By streamlining the account experience, we are removing the barriers that previously existed between customers and a wide range of tokenized asset classes, including fixed income and other regulated securities,” Knutson said.
Users will be able to freely move security tokens between sub-accounts and primary accounts. Full identity verification and security-specific compliance checks remain mandatory for all participants trading tokenized products.
Founded in 2021, the platform has received regulatory approvals from both the Astana International Financial Center in Kazakhstan and the Salvadoran authorities. It offers 24-hour trading and supports self-custody of tokenized assets.
