Overview
- Injective Institutional Services registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Wednesday and is now authorized to perform transfer‑agent duties that record who legally owns securities.
- SEC staff guidance permits registered transfer agents to use distributed ledger technology as the master securityholder file, so the affiliate can maintain official ownership records directly onchain while following federal rules.
- The registration applies only to Injective Institutional Services’ transfer‑agent functions and does not automatically make tokens issued or traded on the Injective network into registered securities.
- Injective says the transfer‑agent status complements its Injective Mint product and its MiCA filing in Europe and builds on prior tokenization pilots with partners such as BlackRock, Nomura’s Laser Digital, and Hamilton Lane.
- By linking onchain settlement with a federally registered ownership register, the move could shrink reconciliation gaps between blockchains and legacy systems and lower friction for institutional tokenized funds and private‑market products.
