Project Securitize is preparing to launch a new platform that will offer tokenized versions of US stocks with an emphasis on direct ownership rather than synthetic representations.
According to the company’s announcement, the product will allow investors to trade real shares of public companies issued directly on the network and listed in the issuer’s capitalization table. This means they will be legally recognized securities, not synthetic assets or price tracking instruments. Securitize clarified that the goal is to «combine web3-style trading capabilities with the regulatory standards used in public markets.»
Currently, the majority of tokenized shares on the market do not fully reflect ownership. Many are based on special instruments, offshore legal structures, or derivatives that track prices without issuing shares. These instruments do not allow investors to participate in the issuer’s equity and often do not provide voting rights or direct access to dividends. Analysts believe this structure leads to increased risk, price imbalances, and fragmentation.
Launched in the first quarter of 2026, Securitize will allow investors to buy and sell shares directly online through regulated broker-dealers. Trades will be executed according to National Best Bid and Offer pricing rules during US market hours, and settlement on the network will be instantaneous thanks to regulatory exemptions.
Investors will be able to hold shares in their own vault, transfer them between approved wallets, and receive dividends and voting rights directly. Securitize stated that it plans to collaborate with issuers, developers, and regulators to responsibly expand the model as demand grows.
