Securitize plans regulated tokenized stocks with 24/7 blockchain trading
Securitize, a securities tokenization company, announced plans to introduce what it describes as the first fully compliant, on-chain trading experience for publicly issued equities represented as tokens that convey real ownership of shares.
According to the announcement, the launch of Securitize’s tokenized equity product is expected in the first quarter of 2026. The company stated that the offering is designed to avoid structures that merely track share prices without granting ownership rights. Instead, the tokens will represent “real, regulated equities: issued on-chain and recorded directly on the issuer’s shareholder registry.”
Among the key benefits, Securitize highlighted real-time trading, including during hours when traditional markets are closed. Trading will reportedly take place via a “swap-style” interface familiar to users of decentralized finance (DeFi).
Traditional finance needs modernization
Alongside the product announcement, Securitize criticized the recent wave of tokenized stock offerings, arguing that many of them “provide access, not ownership.” The company noted that some products rely on special purpose vehicles or offshore structures, potentially increasing counterparty risk or creating price discrepancies.
Another major issue, according to Securitize, is regulatory non-compliance, as many tokenized equities are issued as permissionless assets without proper Know Your Customer (KYC) or Anti-Money Laundering (AML) controls.
Securitize also emphasized that traditional equity infrastructure is outdated and requires disintermediation and redesign. Because investors rarely hold shares directly in their own names, settlement times typically take at least one day.
“If tokenization is to matter at public market scale, it must deliver ownership, real securities, and investor protections,” the company stated.
Securitize said its approach is built on regulated securities and compliance requirements, including controls that restrict transfers to approved or whitelisted wallets. The company will act as the share registrar, noting that it is registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). By combining the registrar role with blockchain issuance, Securitize said the tokens will be legally recognized shares rather than synthetic claims.
