Securitize Tokenizes $295M of Its Own NYSE Stock on Solana on Listing Day

Securitize listed on the New York Stock Exchange on July 2, 2026, under the ticker SECZ — and on the same day, tokenized $295 million of its own common shares on Solana and Avalanche. The company calls it the largest tokenized stock globally.

That dual-track debut sets SECZ apart from every tokenized equity issued to date. Rather than having a third party wrap existing NYSE-listed shares into a derivative token, Securitize issued the tokenized shares directly as identical common stock. The tokens are not a distinct security class; they carry the same voting rights and dividend entitlements as shares held through a traditional brokerage account. CEO Carlos Domingo described it as an industry proof-of-concept: "We just wanted to lead by example and show people that if you want to issue real shares onchain, not fake shares...you can do it."

What Issuer-Sponsored Tokenization Means for SECZ on Solana

Most tokenized equities in circulation depend on a custodian model: a third party holds the underlying shares, and a separate entity issues tokens representing a claim on those shares. Legal clarity on investor rights in that structure varies by jurisdiction.

Securitize's approach eliminates the custodian layer. The SECZ token on Solana and Avalanche is the same security as the NYSE share, issued by the company itself. Access works through Securitize's regulated platform, where eligible U.S. investors complete compliance checks before receiving tokenized shares. Trading takes place through Securitize's registered Alternative Trading System, not through public order books.

President Brett Redfearn, a former SEC Director of Trading and Markets, pointed to the company's regulatory stack as the structural foundation: "There are not that many who have a transfer agent and a broker-dealer." Securitize holds both licenses (a registered transfer agent and a FINRA-registered broker-dealer), which it built to support this kind of issuer-level tokenization.

No public Solana token mint address for SECZ has been disclosed at the time of writing. The shares are accessed and traded within Securitize's regulated infrastructure.

NYSE Debut: SECZ Stock Performance on July 2

Securitize reached the public markets through a merger with Cantor Equity Partners II, a blank-check vehicle affiliated with Cantor Fitzgerald. The company completed a $400 million PIPE raise ahead of the listing.

SECZ opened at $12.45, touched an intraday high of $13.70, and closed at $12.30, a 4.4% gain on debut day, with after-hours trading up an additional 2.4%.

Securitize's Business: $3.4B AUM, 650 Active Funds

Founded in 2017, Securitize built one of the largest tokenized asset management platforms in operation. Securitize reported $3.4 billion in tokenized AUM and $19.5 million in quarterly revenue as of Q1 2026, with revenue up 39% year-over-year. Its 650 active funds include products for institutional clients including Apollo, KKR, Hamilton Lane, and VanEck.

BlackRock and Morgan Stanley are among the firm's backers. Securitize manages BlackRock's tokenized money market fund on its platform, a product that gave its tokenization infrastructure considerable institutional credibility. Intercontinental Exchange (the NYSE's parent company), Computershare, and Continental serve as infrastructure partners.

The company struck a strategic partnership with ICE in March 2025, deepening the connection between Securitize's tokenization infrastructure and the exchange operator now hosting its stock.

Where SECZ Sits in the Tokenized Equity Market

The tokenized equity market remains small relative to its projected scale. Total tokenized equities stood at roughly $1.6 billion globally at the time of the SECZ debut, per MEXC News, against a broader tokenized RWA market exceeding $43 billion. Citigroup has projected the total tokenized asset market could reach $5.5 to $8.2 trillion by 2030.

On Solana specifically, tokenized equities crossed $3 billion in cumulative DEX volume in late June — with the final billion arriving in about a month, a pace that reflects accelerating institutional and retail interest in onchain equities. Days before the SECZ listing, Bending Spoons' tokenized shares went live on Solana via xStocks on the same day as its Nasdaq IPO — a different model (price-exposure only, no voting rights), but similarly timed to the traditional listing.

Securitize's version goes further. By issuing identical common stock onchain from day one of its own public listing, at a company whose core business is tokenization infrastructure, the SECZ debut makes a structural argument that the issuer-sponsored model is viable for regulated public companies, not just private funds or synthetic products.
