- Securitize debuted on the NYSE and onchain simultaneously.
- Tokenized shares launched on Solana and Avalanche.
- Investors can trade the stock 24/7 on blockchain networks.
- The company expects more tokenized IPOs within the next year.
Tokenization platform Securitize has become the first company to launch its stock simultaneously on the New York Stock Exchange and as tokenized securities on public blockchains.
Alongside its NYSE debut, Securitize issued tokenized versions of its shares on Solana and Avalanche, allowing investors to trade them around the clock—even when traditional stock markets are closed.
Unlike tokenized stock wrappers backed 1:1 by underlying shares, Securitize's tokens are issuer-sponsored securities. This means token holders retain shareholder rights such as voting rights and dividend eligibility while benefiting from blockchain settlement and global accessibility.
Company President Brett Redfearn said Securitize is already working with major investment banks to bring future IPOs directly onchain, allowing investors to receive tokenized shares directly into crypto wallets.
The company currently manages roughly $3.4 billion in tokenized assets across more than 650 funds and believes tokenized securities are approaching a major adoption milestone as traditional finance increasingly embraces blockchain infrastructure.
