Securitize named digital transfer agent to mint securities and manage ownership on blockchain systems.
-
Platform targets institutional use with continuous trading and compliance-focused infrastructure design.
The New York Stock Exchange has partnered with Securitize to develop a blockchain-based platform for tokenized securities, according to a recent announcement. The collaboration, formalized through a memorandum of understanding, aims to support continuous trading and settlement. It involves NYSE, part of Intercontinental Exchange, and Securitize, led by CEO Carlos Domingo.
Partnership Sets Foundation For Tokenized Markets
Under the agreement, NYSE named Securitize as its first digital transfer agent for the platform. This role allows Securitize to mint blockchain-based securities for corporate and ETF issuers. According to the companies, this structure enables securities to move and settle directly on-chain.
Notably, Securitize will act as a design partner for the platform’s infrastructure. The companies plan to define standards for digital transfer agents and tokenization processes. These standards will address regulatory, operational, and technical requirements for institutional use.
Lynn Martin, president of NYSE Group, said the effort focuses on building trusted market infrastructure. She noted that investor protections and transparency remain key priorities during development.
Transfer Agent Role Expands On Blockchain
The partnership also indicates the changing role of transfer agents in digital markets. Securitize, a registered transfer agent, will help maintain ownership records and manage corporate actions. These functions will align with traditional market practices while operating on blockchain systems.
According to Carlos Domingo, the collaboration reflects years of infrastructure development. He said the goal involves integrating tokenization within existing financial market structures. The companies emphasized that compliance and operational integrity will guide the design.
Meanwhile, Securitize Markets is expected to join the platform as a broker-dealer participant. This step connects issuance, trading, and settlement within one ecosystem.
Platform Development Targets Institutional Use
The planned Digital Trading Platform will support issuer-sponsored tokenized securities. It aims to provide a framework for continuous trading, unlike traditional market hours. However, the companies stated that development will follow regulatory requirements.The initiative builds on Securitize’s experience in tokenizing real-world assets. It also shows NYSE’s efforts to expand digital market infrastructure. Both firms said the platform will focus on institutional-grade systems for tokenized securities.
