TL;DR:
- Securitize debuted on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker SECZ and tokenized its own shares on Avalanche and Solana on its first day of trading.
- The company becomes the first firm to tokenize its own common stock from day one as a publicly listed company.
- SECZ tokens will be available to eligible investors in the U.S. through the Securitize platform, subject to KYC/AML controls.
Securitize debuted on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker SECZ and, simultaneously, made available a tokenized version of its own common stock to eligible investors in the United States. This operation marks a double milestone: it is the first time a newly listed company has tokenized its own equity from the first day of trading, and the resulting asset is expected to become the highest market cap tokenized stock globally.
The tokenized shares will initially be issued on the Avalanche and Solana networks, establishing a multi-chain foundation for public equity from the company’s very first day on the market. Access to these shares will be subject to onboarding processes, KYC/AML verifications, jurisdictional eligibility and the applicable requirements under current U.S. securities law.
Securitize is now officially a public company, listed on the @NYSE under the ticker SECZ.
Our focus is unchanged: building the regulated infrastructure for the next generation of capital markets.

Tokenization Sponsored by the Issuer Itself
Carlos Domingo, co-founder and CEO of Securitize, emphasized that SECZ is not a synthetic token or an offshore structure, but rather an tokenization sponsored by the issuer itself of the same common shares listed on the NYSE, available through regulated infrastructure. “There is no stronger validation of that belief than tokenizing our own public shares from day one,” Domingo stated in the official press release.
The company draws a clear distinction regarding the scope of the tokenization: the process modifies the way ownership is exercised, but does not alter the underlying legal nature of the shares or override any applicable legal, contractual or transfer restrictions.
Securitize: A Model for the Market
The company argues that the operation could serve as a replicable model for other public companies looking to leverage tokenization to generate more efficient and transparent ownership experiences. The infrastructure underpinning SECZ is the same that Securitize has spent years developing for the tokenization of stocks, funds, bonds and other securities in regulated environments.
The company anticipates that the onchain shareholder base will gradually gain functionality and market infrastructure over time, though it did not specify timelines or additional details regarding those future capabilities.
