Securitize entered the public markets with an unusual milestone by listing its common stock on the New York Stock Exchange while simultaneously offering a tokenized version. The BlackRock-backed company launched trading under the ticker SECZ and quickly gained more than 8%, reaching about $12.75.
Additionally, the move positions Securitize at the forefront of regulated digital securities by connecting traditional equity ownership with blockchain infrastructure from its first trading day.
Tokenization Strategy Begins Immediately
According to the press release, eligible U.S. investors can access tokenized SECZ through Securitize’s regulated platform after completing required identity and compliance checks. Moreover, the digital shares launch on both Avalanche and Solana, giving investors multichain access from the outset.
The company expects SECZ to become the world’s largest tokenized stock based on anticipated shareholder participation. Consequently, the launch demonstrates growing confidence that regulated tokenized equities can operate within existing U.S. securities rules.
Expanding the Public Equity Model
Securitize believes tokenization modernizes ownership without creating a separate class of shares. Instead, blockchain changes how investors hold stock while preserving the same legal rights and transfer requirements.
Besides, the company expects onchain shareholder participation to expand as supporting infrastructure develops. Last week, Securitize projected roughly $400 million in gross proceeds from its public listing and related financing activities before transaction expenses.
