Securitize Becomes First Company to Debut on NYSE and Onchain
Securitize has made history by becoming the first company to launch its shares simultaneously on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and blockchain networks. The milestone highlights the growing adoption of tokenized securities and signals a new chapter for digital capital markets.
Securitize Begins Trading on NYSE
Securitize, trading under the ticker SECZ, officially debuted on the NYSE after completing its business combination with Cantor Equity Partners II. The stock opened at $12.45, climbed to an intraday high of $13.70, and closed at $12.30.
At the same time, the company introduced tokenized SECZ shares on the Solana and Avalanche blockchains. These digital shares enable global investors to trade around the clock, even when traditional U.S. stock markets are closed.
Company Targets More Tokenized IPOs
Securitize President Brett Redfearn said the company is already working with leading investment banks to bring more IPOs onchain. Discussions focus on allowing investors to receive tokenized IPO allocations directly into crypto wallets such as MetaMask and OKX Wallet.
According to Redfearn, tokenized IPOs could become a reality within the next year.
Issuer-Sponsored Tokenization Model
Unlike tokenized stock products that simply mirror traditional shares, Securitize uses an issuer-sponsored model. Under this structure, the blockchain token represents the actual security rather than a wrapped version of the stock.
This approach gives investors full shareholder benefits, including voting rights and dividend payments. It also supports blockchain-based ownership without relying entirely on traditional market infrastructure.
Strong Financial Position Supports Expansion
Securitize currently manages $3.4 billion in tokenized assets across more than 650 active funds. The company reported $19.5 million in first-quarter revenue, representing 39% year-over-year growth.
Following its public listing and a previous $400 million PIPE financing, Securitize plans to invest in new products, technology development, strategic acquisitions, and global expansion.
What’s Next for Securitize
Securitize believes tokenization is reaching a major turning point in financial markets. By combining traditional stock exchange listings with blockchain technology, the company aims to lead the future of digital securities.
As more financial institutions explore tokenized IPOs, Securitize is positioning itself as a key infrastructure provider for the next generation of capital markets.
