Securitize has launched a platform enabling the onchain trading of tokenized, regulated stocks, a first for the industry. This innovation allows investors to buy and sell real shares directly on the blockchain, moving beyond synthetic wrappers or IOUs that only offer price exposure.

Under the new system, shares are issued as tokens, and ownership is recorded directly on the issuer’s capitalization table, ensuring full shareholder rights and regulatory compliance. The first company to utilize this platform is FG Nexus, which will tokenize its Nasdaq-listed stock for trading on Ethereum, giving investors a DeFi-style trading experience while adhering to traditional market integrity standards.

This development aims to bridge traditional finance (TradFi) with decentralized finance (DeFi). By making equities programmable, these tokenized stocks can interact with smart contracts, lending protocols, and other DeFi infrastructure without compromising compliance. The launch positions Securitize, which also supports BlackRock’s BUIDL fund, as a key infrastructure provider at the intersection of regulated markets and blockchain technology, tapping into a potential $400 trillion market for tokenized assets.
