Injective files for SEC transfer agent registration to bring securities ownership records onchain

Summary

Injective has filed for SEC transfer agent registration, aiming to move a core securities-market function—maintaining ownership records—onto blockchain infrastructure. If approved, it would let Injective operate within regulated systems that determine legal ownership of securities, potentially reducing delays and reconciliation by using onchain settlement and record-keeping. Injective says this could provide a compliant path for issuing and managing tokenized securities and real-world assets in the US. The company did not publicly confirm the filing details or identify the legal entity behind it. The move fits a broader trend of traditional market infrastructure providers adopting blockchain, including Nasdaq, ICE, and DTCC, which are pursuing tokenized data, trading, settlement, and collateral-management systems.
