Securitize

Securitize announced a strategic partnership with the TRON blockchain to strengthen its tokenized securities infrastructure and expand digital-asset distribution across one of the industry's most active networks.

Brett Redfearn, a former SEC official, has joined Securitize as president to help build regulated infrastructure for tokenized assets as the firm prepares for an IPO. His regulatory experience is expected to strengthen compliance and investor confidence.

The NYSE has tapped Securitize to build its tokenized stock platform, intensifying the race to move equities onto 24/7 blockchain markets after Nasdaq’s recent regulatory approval. The partnership aims to combine token issuance, compliance tooling and digital custody to accelerate market-ready tokenized equities.

Securitize has recruited a former PayPal executive to help scale its regulated tokenized securities offering for U.S. investors, accelerating expansion after recent regulatory approvals in Europe. The hire underlines the firm's push to broaden access to digital securities.

Securitize announced that BlackRock's $2.5 billion Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL) is expanding to Binance and the BNB Chain. The move signals growing institutional interest in tokenized liquidity on major exchanges.
