Securitize Debuts on NYSE as SECZ and Simultaneously Issues Tokenized Shares on Solana and Avalanche

Securitize has paired a New York Stock Exchange listing with an onchain rollout in a way public companies have not previously done. On July 2, the firm began trading on the NYSE under the ticker SECZ and, at the same time, issued tokenized representations of the same equity on Solana and Avalanche. The listing follows Securitize's SPAC merger with Cantor Equity Partners II, which won shareholder approval on June 29. The transaction was expected to raise about $400 million. On the first day, roughly $266 million worth of tokenized SECZ shares were issued, making it the largest tokenized stock launch to date. SECZ shares climbed more than 8% in their first trading session. Securitize also serves as the NYSE's designated digital transfer agent under a relationship formalized via a memorandum of understanding signed in March 2026. The structure gives investors two access points to the same security: traditional market participants can buy SECZ through standard brokerages, while crypto-native holders can keep the tokenized version on Solana or Avalanche. The equity and rights are intended to be the same, with different settlement rails. Securitize previously executed the first onchain issuance of public equity for Exodus Movement in December 2024, tokenizing EXOD shares. The company also manages more than $4 billion in assets under management for BlackRock. Investors will be watching how Solana and Avalanche perform as venues for tokenized equities. For Solana, hosting the first dual-listed NYSE equity onchain is viewed as a meaningful validation. For crypto-native investors, onchain-settling tokenized stocks could eventually support DeFi-style composability—including potential 24/7 trading, automated strategies, and the theoretical use of SECZ tokens as collateral.
