My IPO, the investor access platform operated by AOS, Inc. dba TradingBlock, today announced that it is excited to become part of Nant Global Finance, Inc. (“NANT”), a newly formed, fully integrated, blockchain-enabled capital markets platform, subject to final FINRA approvals.
Built to remove long-standing barriers to IPOs and other offerings, My IPO is a disruptive, investor-centric platform connected to a clearing firm, giving investors the ability to trade shares immediately once public trading begins—cutting delays, reducing friction, and providing faster access to the market when it matters most. The platform also supports retirement accounts and democratizes access to IPOs historically limited to institutions or high-net-worth investors.
Continuity for Customers, Opportunity for Innovation
Nothing changes for My IPO customers today. The platform, user experience, and commitment to investor protection and regulatory compliance remain fully in place.
At the same time, joining NANT gives My IPO access to a broader, fully integrated capital markets ecosystem—combining regulated broker-dealers, transfer agents, exchanges, and blockchain-enabled settlement infrastructure. This foundation creates opportunities to enhance transparency, efficiency, and access across the full lifecycle of a public offering.
Through NANT, My IPO is positioned to:
- Build on its mission to democratize access to IPOs and other offerings
- Bring more IPOs and offerings to customers
- Explore faster, more transparent settlement and recordkeeping technologies
- Support a broader range of traditional and digital securities within existing regulatory frameworks
- Scale innovation while maintaining strong investor protections
“My IPO was built to level the playing field and give everyday investors access to opportunities that were historically out of reach,” said Joel Vanderhoof, President – Investment Banking, My IPO. “Joining NANT strengthens that mission by pairing our investor-first platform with a powerful, regulated market infrastructure designed for the future.”
A Shared Vision for the Future of Public Markets
NANT is supported by Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong and by the Los Angeles Times as a strategic shareholders and marketing partner. NANT also brings a portfolio of blockchain intellectual property and a leadership team with decades of experience modernizing capital markets infrastructure.
“My IPO embodies exactly the kind of innovation we want at the core of the NANT platform—technology that expands access while operating squarely within U.S. securities laws,” said Mark Elenowitz, CEO of Nant Global Finance, Inc. “Together, we have the opportunity to thoughtfully modernize how offerings are accessed, issued, and ultimately owned.”
Looking Ahead
As regulatory approvals are completed, My IPO will continue to evolve alongside NANT’s broader initiative to modernize capital markets infrastructure. Customers can expect continuity today and the potential for meaningful enhancements over time—always guided by transparency, compliance, and investor-first principles.
