The New York Stock Exchange has selected Securitize as the digital transfer agent for its upcoming tokenized securities platform. This partnership aims to create a framework for issuing and managing blockchain-based stocks and ETFs. The announcement coincides with data showing the total value of tokenized stocks nearing $1 billion.
The New York Stock Exchange is moving forward with its plans to bring traditional markets on-chain. It has chosen Securitize to act as the first digital transfer agent for its developing tokenized securities platform.
This initiative is part of the Intercontinental Exchange’s efforts to build a next-generation Digital Trading Platform. The partnership will focus on establishing the operational and regulatory standards required for digital asset issuance and transfer.
The proposed system is designed to support tokenized versions of existing equities and fully digital-native securities. It will retain key traditional features like shareholder rights and dividend distributions.
Securitize Founder and CEO Carlos Domingo stated, “Very proud and humbled to have been chosen by @nyse for this role.” The collaboration was announced as the tokenized stock market approaches a significant milestone.
Recent data from rwa.xyz shows the total value of tokenized stocks is nearing $1 billion, having increased over 19% in the last 30 days. Monthly transfer volume also rose to $2.5 billion, marking a 45% increase.
The sector has seen steady user growth, with active addresses climbing to over 75,000 and nearly 193,000 holders. This development signals a clear inflection point in the adoption of tokenized real-world assets since early 2025.
