Securitize Partners With Computershare to Bring U.S.-Listed Equities Onchain

New updates have been reported about Securitize.

Securitize, which is pursuing a public listing via a proposed business combination with Cantor Equity Partners II, has struck an agreement with Computershare to let U.S.-listed issuers create and manage tokenized equity directly onchain through Issuer-Sponsored Tokens. Under the model, ISTs sit alongside traditional shares, including Direct Registration System positions, giving issuers new flexibility in capital structure while allowing investors to choose between conventional and tokenized holdings.

Computershare will remain the transfer agent of record, processing corporate actions for ISTs in parallel with other directly registered shares, preserving issuer control and regulatory expectations around transfer agency oversight. Securitize will provide the tokenization and digital infrastructure, enabling direct equity ownership in token form rather than derivative tokens, and positioning the company at the core of an emerging market for regulated onchain securities.

The initiative signals a practical route for public companies to adopt blockchain-based securities within existing U.S. regulatory frameworks, potentially accelerating institutional acceptance of tokenized assets. Securitize, which reports more than $4 billion in tokenized assets under management and operates regulated broker-dealer, transfer agent, and trading systems in both the U.S. and EU, stands to benefit from incremental issuer mandates, increased transaction flow, and deeper integration with traditional capital markets.

If the business combination with CEPT closes as planned in the first half of 2026, the combined entity, Securitize Holdings, is expected to list on NYSE or Nasdaq under the ticker SECZ, giving public-market investors direct exposure to its tokenization platform. Executives and investors should watch adoption levels among large-cap issuers, evolving interoperability with existing market infrastructure, and regulatory developments around digital securities, all of which will influence Securitize’s growth trajectory and revenue potential from this partnership.
