Securitize Debuts Shares On NYSE And Onchain In Market First

Tokenization firm Securitize became the first company to launch its stock on the New York Stock Exchange and onchain at the same time, following a merger with a blank-check company. Shares opened at $12.45, climbed as high as $13.70 during the day, and settled at $12.30 by the close.

Alongside the traditional listing, the firm rolled out tokenized versions of its shares on Solana and Avalanche, meaning trading continues even when US markets close for holidays like Independence Day.

Executive Sees Wider Shift Coming Soon

The company’s president said conversations are already underway with major investment banks about distributing IPO shares directly to crypto wallets in tokenized form, calling the idea operational rather than theoretical. He expects similar moves from other firms within the next several months to a year, noting the company had earlier attempted something similar with SpaceX’s public listing but was too early.

Issuer-Backed Tokens Set Firm Apart

Unlike wrapped stock tokens offered elsewhere, Securitize’s tokenized shares carry full shareholder rights, including voting and dividends, since the company runs its own transfer agent and broker-dealer operations. The firm currently manages $3.4 billion in tokenized assets across hundreds of active funds and posted its strongest quarterly revenue yet, growing 39% year over year.
