Excited to keep 'em coming with @BlackRock !
Tokenization is already happening, but the opportunity for the tokenization of the equities market is enormous. And the sooner more issuers get involved, the faster this will move.
🎥 Brett Redfern says it’s not a question of if assets move on-chain, but when.
U.S. equity market sits around $70T.
Tokenized assets are ~$30B and growing.
It was great to join @JennSanasie @ the @NYSE to discuss @Securitize 's progress to date & future plans to tokenize securities within regulated entities and without risking investor protections as @SECGov continues to unlock opportunities for innovation

Was great to jump on @CryptoAmerica_ today, one day after joining @Securitize to talk about why I made this move, why I’m bullish on tokenization, and what’s next for tokenized stocks. Thank you for a fun discussion @jacqmelinek@EleanorTerrett@thatgerald

@carlosdomingo@Securitize I’m extremely excited to join @carlosdomingo and @Securitize to help this remarkable team usher in the tokenized era. What started as a deep belief in this team and this mission has only grown stronger. Tokenization is no longer a future state — it's here.
It is my pleasure to announce that Brett Redfearn @Observatory13, the chairman of our advisory board for the past 4.5 years, has agreed to join @Securitize as our president and board member to help me run the business as we are about to become a publicly traded company. Brett has an extensive career as a market structure expert in J.P. Morgan, as the head of trading and markets at the SEC, and as head of Capital Markets at Coinbase. Welcome on board Brett!!

We have just announced a major partnership with @NYSE to support the development of tokenized securities markets, with Securitize named as the first digital transfer agent eligible to mint blockchain-native securities for corporate or ETF issuers on the upcoming NYSE-affiliated tokenized securities platform (the Digital Trading Platform). But there is more to it 👇
As tokenization may drive the most significant market structure changes in a generation, Peter Haynes (TD Securities) and I had fun diving in to the tokenization of equities in his latest Bid Out Podcast. https://t.co/jHcF449f72
3/ Thus, ESMA created the TSS, which combines trading and settlement into one entity. The TSS should allow DLT to increase efficiency, reduce costs and operational complexity, and simplify the “value chain” (fewer intermediaries) — thus modernizing capital-markets infrastructure
1/ Congrats to @Securitize for approval to operate both an Investment Firm & a Trading & Settlement System (TSS) in the EU, and for being the first company in the world licensed to operate regulated digital securities infrastructure in both the US & EU. https://t.co/2HfbbfWIhA
2/ ESMA recognized that “The use of distributed ledger technology, with all transactions recorded in a decentralized ledger, can expedite and condense trading and settlement to nearly real-time and could enable the merger of trading and post-trading activities.”
