Securitize, Inc., a real-world asset (RWA) tokenization platform, has officially become a publicly traded company after debuting on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the ticker SECZ.
In an X post on Thursday, the company announced that its shares had begun trading on the NYSE, with eligible U.S. investors gaining access to tokenized SECZ through Securitize’s regulated platform.
According to the company, the launch makes Securitize the first newly public company to tokenize its own stock from the first day of public trading. Based on expected shareholder participation, it also expects SECZ to become the world’s largest tokenized public stock at launch.
How SECZ tokenization works
Unlike synthetic stock tokens or offshore wrappers, Securitize said tokenized SECZ represents the same common stock listed on the NYSE. The company stated that the shares are issuer-sponsored and offered through regulated infrastructure, rather than being separate blockchain-based representations created by third parties.
Initially, tokenized SECZ will be issued on both Avalanche and Solana, providing a multichain foundation for regulated public equity ownership.
“We have long said that public equities are moving onchain, and there is no stronger validation of that belief than tokenizing our own public stock on Day 1,” said Carlos Domingo, Co-Founder and CEO of Securitize. Domingo added that the company believes issuer-backed tokenization provides the regulatory clarity and ownership structure necessary for broader institutional adoption.
Why the NYSE listing matters
The NYSE debut marks a major milestone for Securitize, which has spent years building regulated infrastructure for tokenized securities. Following the listing, Domingo described the company’s transition to the public markets as the beginning of a new phase. “New milestone accomplished. Now a new era starts for us as a publicly traded company at NYSE under the ticker $SECZ.”
He also thanked employees, customers, partners, and investors who helped build the company, adding that more milestones are ahead. The company’s executives are scheduled to ring the NYSE Closing Bell on July 6 to commemorate the public listing.
Expanding institutional infrastructure
Securitize said becoming a public company will strengthen its ability to develop infrastructure for institutional adoption of tokenized securities. According to the company, its focus remains on enabling regulated issuance, management, and secondary trading of digital securities while expanding into additional regulated markets globally.
“As a public company, we’ll continue to invest in infrastructure for institutions to issue, manage, and trade tokenized securities at scale, and expand globally into regulated markets.” Domingo also emphasized that institutional adoption depends on trust rather than hype.
Growing institutional partnerships
Since announcing its planned public listing earlier this year, Securitize has continued expanding its institutional ecosystem. The company said it has strengthened collaborations with the New York Stock Exchange, Continental, Computershare, and several other market infrastructure providers while deepening relationships with some of the world’s largest asset managers.
Earlier this year, BlackRock also expanded its partnership with Securitize through a new SEC filing tied to its tokenized investment products, with Securitize continuing to provide blockchain-based ownership records and transfer agency services for BlackRock’s digital asset fund structure.
The company currently supports more than $4 billion in tokenized assets across products, including BUIDL and VBILL, positioning it as one of the largest tokenization platforms serving institutional investors.
A blueprint for public markets onchain
Securitize said tokenizing its own publicly traded shares demonstrates that blockchain-based ownership can coexist with traditional stock market infrastructure under existing securities laws. The company said tokenization changes the form of ownership rather than creating a new class of shares, with tokenized SECZ representing the same common stock listed on the NYSE.
“It is a blueprint for public companies that want to use tokenization to create more efficient, transparent and useful ownership experiences for their shareholders,” Domingo said.
As institutional interest in tokenized securities continues to grow, Securitize’s public debut represents another step toward integrating blockchain technology into mainstream capital markets.
