Securitize CEO pushes blockchain shareholder records over paper proxies
- —Securitize proposes an onchain register as the ledger of record, challenging the DTC framework
- —The company listed on NYSE as SECZ in July 2026 and tokenized $295 million of its common stock
- —A partnership with Computershare lets US issuers create Issuer-Sponsored Tokens with full dividend and voting rights
- —Securitize oversees $4–5 billion in tokenized assets, with mandatory KYC and whitelisting
Why it matters: A shift to onchain registers by US issuers would accelerate equity tokenization and reshape the role of depositories like the DTC.
