Securitize Corp. (NYSE: $SECZ) and Cantor Fitzgerald are taking tokenization into the primary equity market, creating a pathway for public companies to conduct initial public offerings and follow-on offerings onchain.
The agreement combines Cantor’s equity capital markets and trading capabilities with Securitize’s regulated infrastructure for issuing, distributing and servicing tokenized securities
Securitize Markets, the company’s SEC-registered broker-dealer affiliate, will participate in the offering and settlement process. Public companies using the structure would still operate inside the established framework for traditional offerings. Blockchain infrastructure would sit underneath the issuance process, supporting digital ownership records, greater transparency and access to investors already active across onchain markets.
More From Cryptoprowl: The partnership pushes tokenization beyond the secondary trading of funds, Treasuries and private assets. It brings the technology closer to capital formation itself, where shares are first distributed to investors and later issued again through follow-on offerings. Securitize co-founder and CEO Carlos Domingo said companies should not have to choose between traditional capital markets and blockchain-based infrastructure.
