Computershare Partners with Securitize for Tokenized Equity Issuance
- Computershare, a transfer agent for over half of the S&P 500, collaborates with Securitize to offer tokenized equity through Issuer-Sponsored Tokens (ISTs).
- ISTs represent actual company shares and are recorded in Computershare’s official system, ensuring no change in ownership structure.
- This initiative allows companies to provide tokenized equity alongside traditional methods like brokerage accounts and the Direct Registration System (DRS).
- Computershare will manage shareholder records and corporate actions such as dividends and voting for both traditional and tokenized shares.
- The tokenized equity market reached over $900 million by April 2026, with Securitize partnering with the New York Stock Exchange for a 24/7 trading platform.
Computershare’s collaboration with Securitize facilitates US-listed companies in issuing tokenized equity while maintaining control over their capital structure. The move supports the growing tokenized equity market, valued at over $900 million as of April 2026.
