Ticker SECZ begins trading on NYSE and on Avalanche and Solana simultaneously. Securitize claims it's the world's largest tokenized stock at launch. The test: can on-chain shares match NYSE equity?
Securitize rang the NYSE opening bell July 2, marking the start of trading for its own shares under ticker SECZ. The company also tokenized those shares on Avalanche and Solana the same day.
The NYSE listing came through a merger with Cantor Equity Partners II, a SPAC that raised roughly $400 million and valued Securitize at $1.25 billion.
Securitize chose Avalanche and Solana for the tokenization. Avalanche runs subnet infrastructure designed for regulated financial applications. Solana offers speed and low transaction costs for high-frequency settlement. Both networks give SECZ a real-time on-chain footprint that the NYSE tape cannot match during extended hours.
In March 2026, the NYSE signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Securitize, naming it the first digital transfer agent for tokenized securities on the exchange. The MoU also laid groundwork for a planned 24/7 trading platform for tokenized securities. That would change how equity markets handle after-hours trading instead of the current 4 p.m. Eastern close and 17-hour overnight gap.
Investors holding the tokenized version face a question that has not been stress-tested at scale: will the on-chain shares behave identically around corporate actions like dividends or stock splits? The mechanics of distributing a dividend to a token holder on Solana while the NYSE-listed share receives the same payout are not trivial. Securitize and its partners have to prove the plumbing works. AlphaScala covered the first-day tokenization mechanics in a separate piece.
Securitize already powers BlackRock's BUIDL tokenized fund, with over $4 billion in assets under management. That track record gives the company credibility. Tokenized stock is a different category. BUIDL is a money-market fund. SECZ is equity. The stakes for price parity are higher.
CEO Carlos Domingo called the listing and tokenization an opening move. The next milestone is a Closing Bell ceremony scheduled for July 6.
