The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is bringing traditional markets on-chain. It has selected Securitize as the digital transfer agent for its upcoming tokenized securities platform!
This could potentially change how equities are issued, tracked, and transferred.
NYSE to bring stocks on-chain?
As part of the collaboration with the New York Stock Exchange, Securitize will act as the platform’s first digital transfer agent. This will give the firm a central role in issuing and managing blockchain-based versions of stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
The initiative falls as part of the Intercontinental Exchange’s initiatives to develop its upcoming Digital Trading Platform.
The partnership will reportedly focus on creating the operational and regulatory framework required for tokenized securities. This would include standards for how digital assets are issued, tracked, and transferred. It also builds on earlier plans for a next-generation trading venue featuring round-the-clock access, near-instant settlement, and blockchain-based infrastructure.
The proposed system is expected to support both tokenized versions of existing equities and fully digital-native securities. However, it will retain key features like shareholder rights and dividend structures.
About the agreement, Securitize Founder and CEO Carlos Domingo said,
Very proud and humbled to have been chosen by @nyse for this role
The timing is interesting…
…because the numbers definitely support the development.
In fact, recent data per rwa.xyz showed that the total value of tokenized stocks has been nearing $1 billion – Up over 19% in the last 30 days. Furthermore, monthly transfer volume went up to $2.5 billion – A 45% increase.
Active addresses have climbed to 75,000+ too, alongside nearly 193,000 holders. That’s steady user growth. There’s been a clear inflection since early 2025, with multiple tokenized assets contributing to the rise.
Final Summary
- NYSE has tapped Securitize to bring stocks on-chain.
- The timing works because tokenized stocks are near $1 billion in value with $2.5 billion in volumes.
