Securitize tokenizes $295 million of its own stock on solana and avalanche amid nyse debut

Overview

  • Securitize began trading on the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday, July 2, 2026, under the ticker SECZ after completing a SPAC merger that delivered roughly $400 million in gross proceeds.
  • On the same day the company issued issuer‑sponsored tokenized versions of its common stock on the Solana and Avalanche blockchains, making those tokens available to eligible U.S. investors through Securitize’s regulated platform.
  • The company reported about $266 million in tokenized shares at launch while independent blockchain trackers showed roughly $295 million onchain, a discrepancy that reflects timing and differences between issuer records and on‑chain data.
  • Securitize says the tokens represent the same NYSE‑listed shares, not third‑party wrappers, and access is restricted by onboarding, KYC/AML and securities‑law checks so token holders keep legal shareholder rights.
  • Executives pitched practical DeFi use cases such as routing stock‑lending revenue back to asset owners, and the market now watches adoption, compliance with U.S. securities rules, and development of supporting on‑chain market infrastructure.
