Securitize:- The move to bring capital markets on-chain is accelerating like never before. Major players across the crypto industry – from Gemini and Coinbase to Binance and xStocks – are rolling out tokenized stock offerings. This is
aimed at enabling 24/7 trading and drawing liquidity back into public markets. However, Securitize, co-founded by Carlos Domingo, is entering the space with what it calls a fundamentally different “reality” bet.
This week, Securitize, the security-token pioneer helmed by co-founder and CEO Carlos Domingo, announced its plans to roll out legally recognized on-chain stocks and a fully compliant on-chain trading experience for real public companies.
It is moving to make public company shares truly native to blockchain wallets. This is a move the firm says will bring “real” ownership on-chain and reshape how equities are issued and traded. However, it is targeting the service launch in the first quarter of 2026.

Unlike most existing tokenized stock products that offer synthetic price exposure, Securitize says its model represents real, legally issued shares on-chain.
It basically implies that product Securitize unveiled differs from existing synthetic tokenized stock products which often merely mirror price exposure. It will be issuing tokens that represent actual, regulated shares.
According to Securitize’s official blog, those tokens will be recorded on the issuer’s official cap table. They’ll carry shareholder rights such as dividend entitlements and proxy voting.
To trade these tokenized stocks, users will be required to complete a one-time registration with Securitize, ensuring all trades occur within a compliant, regulated framework. Traders must connect their wallets and complete identity verification, to begin trading tokenized stock on Securitixe.
The company also plans to present trading through an interface familiar to decentralized-finance users. It is using a “swap-style” experience to lower the friction of buying and selling tokenized equities.
Regulatory compliance is also central to Securitize’s pitch. The firm has built a regulated stack. This includes an SEC-registered broker-dealer and transfer-agent capabilities to satisfy U.S. securities rules.

For a project that claims a dominant share of 70% in some tokenized U.S. Treasury markets and leads issuance in tokenized equities, this expansion comes as a natural expansion. Its real stock bet can help it outbid the competitors.
According to RWA.xyz data, Securitize’s platform currently supports 21 distinct tokenized real-world assets, with a distributed on-chain value of approximately $3.05 billion. These tokenized assets are held across 1,736 unique wallets, with monthly transfer volume around $1.75 billion and 77 monthly active addresses.
Securtize already powers institutional and secondary activity rather than only speculative trading. Interestingly. among the assets on Securitize’s ledger, BlackRock’s USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund or BUIDL stands out as the clear leader. It contributes the largest share of on-chain value and helping drive the platform’s total.
This is followed by other institutional funds like Blockchain Capital’s Digital Liquid Venture Fund (BCAP) and Apollo’s Diversified Credit Fund (ACRED).
This institutional confidence signals good for a company which is planning moving to become a public company at a $1.25 billion valuation with 2026 IPO targeted.
