Securitize and Computershare Team Up on Tokenized Equities

Securitize, a leading platform for tokenization, has formed a strategic partnership with Computershare, one of the world's largest transfer agents. The agreement aims to facilitate the onboarding of U.S.-listed issuers onto the blockchain, enabling them to issue Issuer-Sponsored Tokens (ISTs).

This innovative approach to tokenization differs from existing solutions that rely on derivative wrappers or synthetic representations. ISTs, on the other hand, are native tokens that grant direct equity ownership in token form, without altering the underlying equity.

The partnership is seen as a significant development for the growth of the tokenized RWA market, which is projected to reach $400 billion by 2030. Securitize's CEO, Carlos Domingo, highlighted the importance of ISTs in providing a direct and efficient way for issuers to tokenize their equity.
