‘Tokenize the world’: Securitize partners with Computershare to bring more stocks onchain
The Block
Securitize and Computershare have partnered to allow publicly traded companies to issue tokenized shares alongside traditional stock ownership.Summary
Securitize has entered a partnership with the global transfer agent Computershare to enable the issuance of tokenized versions of U.S. equities. This initiative allows companies to offer Issuer-Sponsored Tokens (ISTs) without altering their existing capital structures, providing investors with options such as fractional ownership and potential 24/7 trading. By leveraging Computershare's position as a registry manager for nearly 60% of S&P 500 companies, the collaboration aims to integrate tokenization into the core ownership layer of public markets.
