Securitize CEO highlights potential of tokenized equities to drive $5 trillion market
- Carlos Domingo, CEO of Securitize, believes tokenized equities and ETFs could unlock a market worth $5 trillion.
- The global equities and ETF market is estimated at $150 trillion, with only a small percentage needed to transition onchain.
- Securitize has partnered with the New York Stock Exchange and Computershare for on-chain trading of equities.
- Domingo distinguishes between “real” tokenized equities and synthetic structures offered outside the U.S.
- Securitize aims to provide blockchain-based securities that offer investor rights similar to traditional shares.
As the real-world asset (RWA) market grows, Domingo emphasizes that public blockchains like Ethereum are preferred for institutional tokenization despite compliance concerns. The focus on tokenized stocks could lead to significant growth in this sector.
With the potential for a $5 trillion market driven by tokenized equities, Securitize is poised to play a key role in this emerging landscape.(Source)
