Securitize and Cantor Fitzgerald are developing infrastructure to support initial public offerings and follow-on share offerings based on tokenised securities within the existing U.S. securities regulatory framework. The companies are preparing a basic issuance structure for public markets that would allow companies to raise funds using tokenised securities. Securitize will provide tokenisation infrastructure, while its SEC-registered broker-dealer affiliate Securitize Markets will take part in offering and settlement. Cantor Fitzgerald will provide equity capital markets and trading capabilities.

Securitize began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker SECZ and simultaneously launched tokenised versions of its shares on the Solana and Avalanche blockchains. The company listed via a merger with a Cantor Fitzgerald-backed special purpose acquisition company and said the tokenised securities are the same common stock traded on the NYSE. Access requires registration and eligibility checks, including know-your-customer and anti-money-laundering reviews.
