Clear Street LLC

Clear Street is a financial infrastructure technology company and diversified financial services firm headquartered in New York, NY. Founded in 2016, its mission is to modernize the brokerage ecosystem by providing sophisticated investors with access to every asset in every market through a unified, cloud-native platform built for speed, transparency, and scale.

The company offers a comprehensive suite of financial services, including prime brokerage, multi-asset clearing, secure custody, advanced execution, financing services, and investment banking. Its proprietary cloud-native platform unifies trading, risk management, and financing across various asset classes such as equities, options, futures, fixed income, foreign exchange, and swaps. Clear Street serves a diverse client base that includes sophisticated individuals, hedge funds, proprietary traders, broker-dealers, ETF issuers, family offices, corporate issuers, traditional asset managers, and alternative asset managers.

Clear Street has actively expanded its offerings and global presence in recent years. In April 2024, the firm launched futures clearing and execution services following its acquisition of React Consulting Services and its BASIS platform in July 2023. The company also established an Equity Research Group in November 2024. Ed Tilly serves as the CEO. While Clear Street had filed for an initial public offering, these plans were withdrawn in February 2026 due to market volatility and broader concerns within the fintech sector. The company positions itself as a modern alternative to legacy financial infrastructure, aiming to serve sophisticated investors who are underserved by existing platforms.
