US Tokenized Securities Market Strengthens as Securitize Adds New Leadership
Securitize has intensified its focus on the growing US tokenization market, appointing former PayPal executive Jerome Roche as its new general counsel. The move comes as the company accelerates efforts to scale regulated tokenized securities for American investors and builds on new regulatory approvals in Europe.
The platform highlighted that its tokenized equity products are already accessible to US investors, countering the widespread belief that most tokenized securities must be issued overseas. Securitize maintains that operating within the US regulatory perimeter is both viable and scalable.
In a statement, the company stressed that it has established a clear regulatory path for issuing real, onchain securities not synthetic assets or derivatives. Securitize operates through a suite of SEC regulated entities, including a registered transfer agent, broker-dealer and fund administrator. This structure allows US investors to legally access and hold tokenized financial instruments.
Securitize’s regulated infrastructure forms the backbone of its push to integrate real-world assets into blockchain environments, positioning tokenization as a practical bridge between traditional capital markets and digital finance.
The company’s US momentum follows its recent approval in the European Union to function as an investment company and as a trading and settlement system. The authorization makes Securitize one of the first firms with regulated digital-securities capabilities across both major markets.
Roche, now leading the company’s global legal strategy, emphasized that modern ledger technology is enabling more efficient ownership records and transaction settlement. He underscored the importance of innovation that fits “squarely within the guardrails of applicable law,” reeinforcing Securitize’s compliance-driven approach.
The development aligns with a broader shift in the US, where interest in tokenized assets is rising. The recent decision by regulators to end an investigation into another tokenization platform signals growing clarity and acceptance for on-chain securities within American markets.
