Capital formation infrastructure
Building the rails since 2016.
Deal Box was founded by Thomas Carter in 2016 and tokenized its first real-world asset the same year. The rails came first. The rules are still catching up.
What ten years adds up to.
Ten years ahead.

The product
“We did not spend ten years chasing the future of capital markets. We spent ten years building toward it.”
Thomas Carter, founder
The refinancialization of the economy.
The internet programmed information. Software programmed business. Now the same shift is reaching money itself: shares, loans, property and revenue are becoming records that can be owned, financed and traded directly online. Deal Box is the capital formation part of that shift.
In the same ecosystem
Identity and verification across connected devices and digital transactions.
True I/O's identifier for verifying and authenticating connected devices.
Bitcoin-native systems built to support programmable applications and tokenized asset markets.
Payments and the movement of money.
Company-specific enterprise-value modeling, strategy and studies for public and pre-public companies. Digital-asset treasury is one capability.
An account for everyday cash with a separate Bitcoin position. In early access.
Sourced research on digital assets, tokenization and blockchain infrastructure. Its 2026 infrastructure report is written by Thomas Carter, the founder of Deal Box.
Three rules that decide every argument.
Issuer-first, always
Founders pay us. Investors never do. Nobody pays on a transaction.
The record before the raise
Nothing lists until the record is complete. That is the whole standard.
Rails before rules is normal
American market infrastructure has always arrived ahead of its legislation.
Securities people, not just developers.
Investment bankers, capital markets operators, and founders who have sat in the seat you are sitting in.
