Securitize gains on NYSE debut with tokenized stocks live on Solana, Avalanche
Securitize debuted on the NYSE under ticker SECZ after merging with a Cantor Fitzgerald-backed SPAC, and its shares rose about 4.4% on the first day. At the same time, it launched tokenized versions of its public stock on Avalanche and Solana for eligible U.S. investors, making it the first newly public company to offer tokenized shares on day one. Backed by BlackRock and Morgan Stanley, Securitize said the move shows tokenized securities can operate under existing U.S. laws and market structure, with normal onboarding and compliance checks. CEO Carlos Domingo framed the stock as issuer-sponsored tokenization of the same common shares trading on the NYSE, not a synthetic wrapper. The company raised $400 million at a valuation above $1 billion. Tokenized real-world assets now exceed $43 billion, with tokenized stocks still a small segment but expected to grow rapidly.
