Kimber Labs Says Affiliate Won U.S. Broker-Dealer Status to Offer On-Chain Rights to Stocks and Funds

ChainCatcher published a report at 00:14 on November 11, 2026 (UTC+8), citing CoinDesk, that Kimber Labs—an RWA company operating under the Plume brand—said its affiliate Kimber Digital Securities (KDS) had completed U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission registration and received Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) membership approval as a broker-dealer.

According to the company, that status would give KDS clients access to the Depository Trust Company (DTC). Kimber Labs said that, once KDS is live, investors could hold digital rights to eligible stocks, ETFs, and bonds in self-custody wallets while the corresponding book-entry positions remain recorded at DTC. It also said KDS would support stablecoin applications that offer SEC-regulated yield products, including tokenized shares of funds run by leading U.S. asset managers.

The account is limited to these company statements as relayed by ChainCatcher via CoinDesk. The report does not independently confirm that KDS is operational, name the eligible securities, or set a launch date.
