• Prometheum Capital announced its plans to include UNI and ARB tokens as digital securities on its custodial platform.
• Prometheum may stir controversy from the announcement as the company supports the SEC's claim that several cryptocurrencies are securities.
• The announcement comes at a time when Uniswap Labs received a Wells notice from the SEC.

Prometheum Capital announced in a press release on Wednesday that it plans to add Uniswap (UNI) and Arbitrum (ARB) tokens as part of its custodial platform that is set to launch in the coming months.

Prometheum could stir controversy following plans to add UNI and ARB as digital securities

Prometheum Capital, an arm of digital assets investment company Prometheum Inc., unveiled plans to expand its custodial platform with the inclusion of UNI and ARB tokens after recently conducting a "soft launch" with ETH.

The company aims to provide custody for these three assets to institutional and corporate investors in compliance with the Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) license. 

The custodial platform is expected to kick off operations next month, treating these three assets as securities. Prometheum Capital claims that this move will enhance transparency and reduce costs by eliminating the need for transfer agents to keep records.

The company received licenses from the SEC last year to operate as a special-purpose broker-dealer, the first of its kind among crypto exchanges. It is also permitted by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) to deal in crypto clearing and licensing services.
