Securitize Lists on NYSE and Issues $295 Million in On‑Chain Shares

The transaction pairs a SPAC public listing with issuer‑sponsored tokens to test whether institutional asset managers and multi‑chain markets will scale regulated tokenized securities.

Overview

  • Securitize completed a SPAC‑backed public listing and used the listing to issue about $295 million of its own shares as issuer‑sponsored tokens on Solana and Avalanche.
  • The company reports roughly $3.4 billion in tokenized assets under management across nearly 650 funds and said Q1 revenue was $19.5 million, its strongest quarter to date.
  • Independent on‑chain trackers put the combined market value of tokenized equities near $1.96 billion, with some reporting the broader tokenized equity market crossing roughly $2 billion.
  • Institutional partnerships anchor the rollout: BlackRock’s BUIDL fund (valued at over $1.7 billion on Securitize’s rails) and other managers like Apollo, KKR and VanEck are using the platform and some tokenized products trade on DeFi venues such as Uniswap.
  • Securitize’s issuer‑sponsored model aims to give regulated, direct on‑chain ownership with 24/7 trading, fractional shares and atomic stablecoin settlement, but U.S. investor access and regulatory clarity remain unresolved and will shape how fast tokenization spreads.
