Securitize CEO expects listed firms to embrace tokenized stock trading

what happened

Securitize CEO Carlos Domingo told Crypto Briefing that public companies will eventually want their shares traded in tokenized form, since the format brings more liquidity and access for investors worldwide. He said the pitch rests on practical benefits, adding: "Nobody publicly traded will say no."

Securitize Stocks already lets people trade tokenized versions of 12 large US stocks, including Apple, Nvidia and Tesla, on the Solana network. Jump Trading is providing liquidity to the platform. The company plans to expand the list to 75 names by year-end and to open further venues, including NYSE Digital ATS.

Securitize began trading on the NYSE under SECZ on July 2, 2026, after a SPAC merger valued at about $1.25 billion. The company reported tokenized assets under management above $5 billion in the third quarter of 2026, while tokenized equity volume reached $15.6 billion in September. StoneX raised its SECZ price target 50% to $18 and projects revenue approaching $200 million by 2028.

why it matters

Investors will track whether the stock list grows, whether new venues launch and whether trading and servicing fees appear in reported revenue. Securitize says its products are regulated and preserve shareholder rights, unlike loose synthetic exposure with unclear legal standing.
