@Securitize This is a meaningful unlock:

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

@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.

Congrats @carlosdomingo, @Securitize, and @NYSE for taking another major step forward in the development of tokenized securities.

[Carlos Domingo @carlosdomingo]

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 👇

[Carlos Domingo @carlosdomingo]

Using @Securitize to provide regulatory coverage to trade securities onchain. Let's go!

[Brett W. Redfearn @Observatory13]

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

[Brett W. Redfearn @Observatory13]

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

[Brett W. Redfearn @Observatory13]

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.”
