New Market Trading is an onchain wealth management service. You open an onchain investment account that only you can withdraw from, our team builds and manages a portfolio inside it, and you keep custody of your assets the whole time.
This page exists because that description raises a fair question. Anyone can put a sentence like that on a website. So below is the company behind it, the people, the legal structure, what we are and are not registered as, and how to check every one of those things yourself without taking our word for any of it.

What is New Market Trading?
We open you an onchain investment account, called a Safe, and our team builds a crypto portfolio inside it. You hold the keys. We hold trading permissions only, which means we can execute strategy in your account and we cannot withdraw your funds.
The reason the account sits onchain rather than with a custodian is access. Exchanges list assets late and pay little or nothing on what you hold. An onchain account sits directly on the blockchain, so assets and yield products are reachable from it. That is the whole point of the structure.
Who is behind it?
Frank Hepworth founded the company and runs it as CEO. Before that he was a regulatory crypto attorney: he advised major crypto exchanges on legal compliance and worked on the launch of the first crypto ETFs on the Toronto Stock Exchange. He left a six-figure legal career before turning 30, after growing his own crypto portfolio 11x.
Ajdin Kahrović is our Chief Technology Officer and owns the platform's security architecture. Once you've signed up, one of our Associates looks after your account from then on. They walk you through setting up your account, explain what is in your portfolio and why, and pick up the phone when you call. Every one of our Associates can be found on the team page, with their names, photographs and backgrounds, so that you know exactly who will be managing your money before you commit to anything.
What company is behind New Market Trading?
New Market Trading is operated by New Market USA LLC, a Limited Liability Company organized under the laws of the State of Florida, United States.
Is New Market Trading a registered investment adviser?
No. NMT does not provide investment, financial, legal, accounting, or tax advice, and we are not registered as an investment adviser, portfolio manager, commodity trading advisor, or broker-dealer. We are not a bank, not a broker, and not a fund manager. NMT is a non-custodial, software-enabled onchain execution assistance and consulting service.
Rules for onchain finance are still being written in most jurisdictions, and the direction is toward clearer ones. We retain US securities counsel, including a former senior SEC official, to review our structure as those rules develop, and we will adapt the structure as they do.
Are there other companies called New Market Trading?
Yes, and the search results mix them together, so this is worth spelling out.
NYS Markets is a forex proprietary trading firm, registered as NYS Markets Ltd in Saint Lucia. Neomarkets and 9Markets are separate retail trading platforms. NewMarket Corporation, ticker NEU on the NYSE, is a chemical company. NMT USA, Inc. is a shipping and freight business in Florida. None of them is us, and we have no relationship with any of them.
If you searched our name and found complaints about frozen withdrawals or funded-account challenges, you were reading about one of those companies. The way to tell is the website: ours is newmarkettrading.com, and our only client product is the onchain account described on this page.
How do I verify all of this?
You do not have to trust any sentence above. Each one has a source you can open yourself.
Our smart contracts were audited by Consensys Diligence in June 2026. The full report is public on their site, including the findings, their severity, and which were fixed. We did not commission a summary or a badge. It is the whole report. https://diligence.security/audits/2026/06/new-market-trading-contracts/
Your account, once you have one, is a Safe smart account. You can open it at app.safe.global with any standard Ethereum wallet, see its owners and permissions, and view every position and transaction on any block explorer. None of that requires us.
The company is on the Florida state register. Frank's professional history is on LinkedIn and in the videos linked from his page here. The Terms of Use and Privacy Policy on this site name the operating company and the contact addresses.
