Bitfinex Securities, a regulated platform for trading tokenized securities, today announced a major update to its account architecture, eliminating separate securities sub-accounts and enabling native support for security tokens across primary and standard trading accounts.
The El Salvador-based exchange will no longer require users to maintain separate sub-accounts for security tokens. Under the revised framework, tokenized assets will appear alongside digital currencies in exchange wallets, enabling unified wallet monitoring.
Existing securities sub-accounts will be transferred to regular trading sub-accounts without affecting balances, login information, 2FA setups and withdrawal permissions, the company said.
This update reflects Bitfinex Securities’ focus on improving accessibility to advanced financial instruments, said Jesse Knutson, who oversees the company’s operations.
“By streamlining the account experience, we are removing the barriers that previously stood between customers and a growing range of tokenized asset classes, including bonds and other regulated securities,” Knutson said.
Users will have the ability to freely move security tokens between sub-accounts and their main account. Full identity verification and security-specific compliance checks remain mandatory for all participating tokenized trading instruments.
The platform, established in 2021, holds regulatory authorization from the Astana International Financial Center in Kazakhstan and Salvadoran authorities. It offers 24-hour trading and supports self-custody of tokenized assets.
