Securitize (SECZ) Jumps 24.3% After SEC Grants Tokenized Stock Exemption

Huo Xing Finance reported that on September 22, citing BIT (bit.com) market data, shares of Securitize (SECZ) rose 24.3% at the close and added another 3.7% in after-hours trading, pushing the stock above $14. The rally follows a regulatory tailwind: on September 17, after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission approved limited trading of tokenized stocks on blockchain platforms, Securitize opened at $8.34. The stock has since gained more than 67.8%. Founded in 2017, Securitize is a U.S.-licensed tokenization infrastructure provider that went public via SPAC in July 2026. The company tokenizes real-world assets—including fund shares, private credit, and equities—as blockchain-based securities, and offers end-to-end services spanning transfer agency, brokerage, ATS trading, and fund administration. Securitize's partners include BlackRock (its tokenized money market fund BUIDL), Apollo, and KKR, with BlackRock acting as both a major client and an investor. The company emphasizes bringing institutional-grade, shareholder-rights-bearing securities on-chain rather than issuing synthetic stock tokens.
