Broker-dealers
Rialto Markets
Rialto Markets LLC is a FINRA member broker-dealer that supplies the regulated infrastructure behind online private securities offerings. It is a member of FINRA and SIPC and states it is licensed in all 50 states and Puerto Rico.
On the primary side it acts as broker-dealer of record for companies raising under Regulation CF, Regulation A+, and Regulation D, providing the administrative and compliance infrastructure to receive and process investments and issue shares to retail and accredited investors online. It publishes the ceilings it supports: up to $5 million under Reg CF, up to $75 million under Reg A+, and Reg D for institutional raises.
On the secondary side it operates an SEC-recognized alternative trading system for private securities in traditional or digital form. The ATS is structured as a permissioned walled garden in which the issuer keeps authority over its cap table and which transfers are allowed, while early investors and employees get a regulated route to liquidity across all 50 states.
Both sides are also sold white-label, so a crowdfunding platform, investment marketplace, or financial institution can run branded capital raising or secondary trading while Rialto handles compliance, KYC and AML, transfer agent integration, and transaction processing. A consulting arm advises on regulatory planning, market readiness, tokenization, cap table management, and treasury. One page on the site describes the firm as offering investment opportunities in music rights and other alternative assets, which does not match the rest of the site and is worth clarifying directly.
Best for
