According to a recent LinkedIn post from Securitize, the company has received approval under FINRA’s Continuing Membership Application to expand its broker-dealer activities. The post indicates that Securitize is now permitted to custody tokenized securities, positioning its platform as a full on-chain infrastructure stack for IPO-related activity.

The LinkedIn post further notes that this approval enables on-chain atomic swaps and supports clearing and settlement between tokenized securities and stablecoins in a single transaction. The post suggests this could reduce operational complexity and allow Securitize Markets to act as an underwriter or selling group participant in tokenized securities offerings.
From an investor perspective, the described capabilities may strengthen Securitize’s role in the emerging market for tokenized capital markets infrastructure. If adopted by issuers and institutional investors, the expanded permissions could drive higher transaction volumes, diversify revenue streams in underwriting and trading, and reinforce the company’s competitive position in regulated digital asset securities.
The move also signals incremental regulatory validation for on-chain settlement models within a broker-dealer framework. This could enhance Securitize’s appeal as a partner for traditional financial institutions exploring tokenization, though overall market uptake, regulatory evolution, and competing platforms will remain key factors in assessing the long-term financial impact.
