The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), a subsidiary of Intercontinental Exchange, Inc., has entered into a collaboration with Securitize to advance the development of tokenised securities markets. Under a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), Securitize has been named the first digital transfer agent eligible to mint blockchain-native securities for corporate and ETF issuers on the NYSE’s forthcoming Digital Trading Platform.
The partnership focuses on establishing regulatory, operational, and technological standards for institutional-grade tokenisation. As a premier design partner, Securitize will assist in developing a digital transfer agent program designed to support on-chain settlement. This initiative aims to define how transfer agent infrastructure maintains official ownership records and manages corporate actions while ensuring tokenised assets meet the rigorous standards of traditional financial markets.
In addition to its role as a transfer agent, Securitize Markets is expected to join the Digital Trading Platform as a broker-dealer participant. This broader collaboration is intended to strengthen the market structure for issuer-sponsored tokenised securities, leveraging Securitize’s experience as an SEC-registered platform to integrate blockchain technology with global capital markets.
