According to The Block, investment bank Benchmark pointed out in its latest research report that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) proposed to repeal Rule 611 and Rule 610(e) of Regulation NMS, which could become the "most decisive regulatory change" affecting the market structure of cryptocurrencies and tokenized assets in 2026.The proposal was announced on June 11 and aims to eliminate trading protection and quote constraint rules that have been in place for nearly 20 years in the U.S. stock market. The SEC stated that this move is intended to reduce trading costs and provide greater space for market competition and technological innovation.Benchmark's analysis believes that the current Rule 611 (order protection rule) requires trades to adhere to the National Best Bid and Offer (NBBO), while Rule 610(e) restricts "locked/crossed quotes." These mechanisms are effective in traditional matching systems but create structural constraints for automated market maker (AMM) models in decentralized finance (DeFi).The report pointed out that if the relevant rules are repealed, it will significantly lower the compliance barriers for tokenized stocks and on-chain trading systems, making AMM-based trading models easier to access the U.S. capital market system.In terms of potential beneficiaries, Benchmark specifically mentioned Securitize, believing that it will benefit most directly as a provider of tokenized securities infrastructure, while Coinbase and Galaxy Digital will also benefit from the expansion of trading, market-making, and custody infrastructure. However, the report also emphasized that the rule adjustments do not address all core issues, such as the exchange registration system, custody and clearing framework, and the legal positioning of DeFi-native trading still needs further clarification.The industry generally expects that the subsequent "innovation exemption mechanism" will become a key supporting policy. The SEC has currently opened a 60-day public comment period on the proposal, and the market anticipates that the final vote may take place in early 2027.

According to The Block, Ethena Labs plans to allocate $250 million to Securitize's Tokenized AAA CLO Fund (STAC), which has been launched on Solana.STAC is issued by Securitize in collaboration with BNY Mellon, investing in dollar-denominated AAA-rated collateralized loan obligations (CLOs), currently managing approximately $102 million, with a 7-day annualized yield of about 2.42% and a management fee of 0.3%.Ethena's move aims to extend the collateral of USDe and USDtb from crypto-native positions to institutional-grade real-world assets, and to collaborate with institutions like Janus Henderson to include its AAA-rated CLO fund JAAA in the USDe reserve portfolio.

According to The Block, Benchmark maintains a "Buy" rating on the tokenized infrastructure company Securitize, with a target price of $16, based on its revenue expectation of approximately $178 million in 2027. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has announced that the merger registration statement of Securitize and Cantor Equity Partners II is effective, and shareholders will vote on June 29. If approved, the merged company is expected to list on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker SECZ.The report states that Securitize has a differentiated advantage with its compliance license system across the U.S. and Europe, including registration as a broker-dealer, alternative trading system, transfer agent, and fund service provider in the U.S., and holds trading and settlement licenses under the DLT Pilot regulatory framework in the European Union. Securitize currently manages approximately $3.4 billion in tokenized assets, and the size of its market segment has exceeded $30 billion.

According to CoinDesk, Securitize CEO Carlos Domingo stated that tokenized stocks could drive the RWA market from its current approximately $30 billion to $5 trillion. He pointed out that the global stock and ETF market is about $150 trillion, and even if only 2% to 3% is tokenized, it could approach $5 trillion. Domingo believes that tokenized stocks, rather than private credit or government bond products, will be the key driver of this growth.He distinguished "real" tokenized stocks from many offshore blockchain stock products, which rely on derivatives or synthetic structures rather than directly holding the underlying shares. He believes the long-term goal should be to provide blockchain-based securities with the same investor rights as traditional stocks, while enjoying instant settlement, 24/7 transferability, and deep integration with DeFi. Domingo insists that public blockchains, especially Ethereum, remain the preferred infrastructure for institutional tokenization.

According to a Securitize announcement, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has announced that its Form S-4 registration statement for the merger transaction with SPAC company Cantor Equity Partners II has officially become effective. This means that Securitize's listing process has made significant progress, and CEPT shareholders will hold a special meeting on June 29, 2026, to vote. If approved, the transaction is expected to be completed shortly thereafter.After the transaction is completed, the merged company is expected to operate under the name "Securitize Corp." and be listed on the New York Stock Exchange with the stock ticker "SECZ."

According to The Block, Securitize announced the launch of Hamilton Lane's Senior Credit Opportunities Fund (HLSCOPE) on the TRON blockchain through its compliant tokenization structure, becoming the first Securitize asset issued on TRON. HLSCOPE provides qualified investors with on-chain exposure to Hamilton Lane's opportunity senior credit perpetual fund, relying on TRON's over 383 million accounts, approximately 90 billion dollars in circulating stablecoins, and high-frequency settlement network.

The asset tokenization platform Securitize is advancing its business merger with the Nasdaq-listed SPAC Cantor Equity Partners II (CEPT) and plans to use this to list on Nasdaq. Securitize founder and CEO Carlos Domingo stated that the company has achieved profitability in the asset tokenization field by establishing partnerships with multiple financial institutions and will leverage the SPAC transaction to accelerate expansion, issuing and trading more assets in digital token form beyond stablecoins.

According to The Defiant, BlackRock has submitted a new tokenized fund filing to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and has once again chosen Securitize to provide infrastructure support. Previously, the first tokenized fund BUIDL launched in collaboration with Securitize was successfully issued in 2024, and its asset size has now reached approximately $2.3 billion.

According to PR Newswire, the asset tokenization platform Securitize announced a partnership with Jump Trading Group and the decentralized trading aggregator Jupiter to launch fully on-chain and regulated tokenized stock trading. This integration combines Securitize's end-to-end regulatory infrastructure, Jump's liquidity, and Jupiter's front-end distribution interface, aiming to create a complete market structure stack.This move marks the transition of tokenized stocks from issuance to a scalable and liquid secondary market. Securitize CEO Carlos Domingo stated that the collaboration demonstrates that liquidity, accessibility, and compliance can be achieved within the existing regulatory framework. Jump provides liquidity through its PropAMM deployed on Solana, while Jupiter serves as the user access point. The entire system operates under existing securities regulations.The system offers large-scale liquidity support for issuers, provides a compliant path for distribution platforms to integrate tokenized securities, and indicates to regulators that blockchain-based markets have achieved scalability while enhancing efficiency, transparency, and accessibility.

According to official news, the asset tokenization platform Securitize has announced that it has received approval from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) to expand its brokerage proprietary business through its subsidiary Securitize Market. This allows it to conduct tokenized securities custody business within the framework of traditional brokerages, enabling on-chain atomic swaps and clearing settlements between tokenized securities and stablecoins, as well as participating in the primary and secondary issuance underwriting and sales of tokenized securities.

According to CoinDesk, Securitize, a tokenization platform supported by BlackRock, announced a partnership with global stock transfer agent giant Computershare, allowing U.S. listed companies to issue on-chain tokenized equity (Issuer-Sponsored Tokens, ISTs) outside of the existing stock system.Under the plan, investors will have the option to hold shares through traditional securities accounts or directly hold corresponding on-chain equity assets through digital wallets. Computershare will continue to act as the transfer agent, responsible for managing shareholder registries, dividend distributions, and handling corporate actions such as stock splits.Reports indicate that the core of this structure is to avoid the common "wrapped shares" model found in the traditional crypto market. Unlike derivative tokens that only represent a claim to shares, ISTs will directly represent real equity ownership, rather than a mapping certificate of off-chain stocks.Carlos Domingo stated that ISTs are not derivatives built on existing stocks, but rather allow U.S. issuers to create real equity directly in token form.Data shows that Computershare currently serves over 25,000 companies and acts as the transfer agent for about 58% of S&P 500 companies. The market believes that this collaboration signifies that blockchain infrastructure is gradually entering the backend system of the core U.S. securities market, which may further promote the on-chain settlement, equity registration, and asset circulation of U.S. stocks.

Benchmark reiterated its bullish outlook on Securitize in its latest research report, giving it a target price of $16 post-IPO (stock code SECZ), believing it is poised to significantly benefit from the wave of tokenized assets.Analysis indicates that the total market capitalization of companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange is approximately $44 trillion. If Securitize captures just 1 basis point (0.01%) of that market, its platform asset size could double from the current approximately $4 billion. Benchmark emphasizes that Securitize is not only a tokenization platform but also possesses a "complete regulatory qualification system" that includes broker-dealer, transfer agent, and trading functions, which is expected to generate diversified income throughout the entire lifecycle of asset issuance, secondary trading, and custody services. Additionally, the company has been designated as the digital transfer agent for the tokenized securities platform that the New York Stock Exchange plans to launch, which supports 24/7 trading. Meanwhile, its tokenized U.S. Treasury fund BUIDL, in collaboration with BlackRock, has approached $3 billion, indicating rapid growth in the institutional-level RWA market. However, Benchmark also cautions that factors such as regulatory uncertainty, fragmented liquidity, and technological risks may still exert pressure on its valuation.

Securitize announced the appointment of Brett Redfearn as President and a member of the Board of Directors.Brett Redfearn previously served as the Chairman of the Advisory Board at Securitize, and this promotion marks his advancement to a higher leadership position. He has been responsible for regulatory and market structure-related business at the SEC, JPMorgan, and Coinbase. Securitize stated that Redfearn will be responsible for driving the expansion of its regulated platform business in compliance token issuance, trading, and fund management, with a focus on strengthening collaboration with regulators and institutional investors to support the construction of a new generation of financial infrastructure based on tokenization.

According to The Block, Nasdaq-listed company Currenc Group Inc. has commissioned Securitize to tokenize its common stock, a move that will enable features such as around-the-clock trading, fractional ownership, and decentralized finance (DeFi) applications for the stock.Securitize is currently a leading institution in the tokenization space and has recently been entrusted to participate in the construction of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) around-the-clock tokenized securities platform.It is worth noting that in the field of on-chain compliant stock issuance, SuperState has previously accumulated a significant amount of business, with institutions such as Galaxy, Forward, and SharpLink choosing to complete on-chain stock issuance through its platform.

According to The Block, investment firm Benchmark has initiated coverage on Securitize for the first time, giving it a buy rating with a target price of $16. Analyst Mark Palmer compared it to the "shovels and picks" of the tokenization field, believing that Securitize can benefit regardless of which type of tokenized product or issuer ultimately prevails.The report points out that tokenization is one of the most profound transformations in the capital markets since the introduction of electronic trading, and Securitize is at the core of this transformation. Currently, the company holds about 70% of the U.S. tokenization market and has partnered with leading asset management firms such as BlackRock. Securitize plans to go public on Nasdaq through a merger with Cantor Equity Partners II, with the stock ticker SECZ.

Securitize CEO Carlos Domingo posted on the X platform revealing that Securitize has been designated as a digital transfer agent, qualified to mint native on-chain securities for corporate and ETF issuers on the NYSE's tokenized securities platform (digital trading platform).But this is not the entirety of the collaboration; the NYSE plans to work with Securitize to develop a digital transfer agent project to support on-chain settlement of tokenized securities transactions. Both parties will also jointly establish industry standards for digital transfer agents and tokenized agents, focusing on regulatory requirements, operational processes, and technical specifications, to promote the construction of institutional-grade tokenized securities infrastructure.Note: A digital transfer agent can be understood as a blockchain upgrade of the traditional financial "transfer registration agency," which may support on-chain equity registration, real-time settlement, automatic compliance, dividend distribution, and other corporate actions being executed automatically.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the New York Stock Exchange is collaborating with Securitize to develop a tokenized securities platform.

The Nasdaq-listed blockchain capital market company Figure Technology Solutions announced its latest business operations report, which disclosed that the circulating supply of its securitized stablecoin YLDS has increased to $588 million, a 56% increase compared to the previous period. YLDS aims to maintain a fixed dollar price and provide continuous returns through U.S. Treasury securities and repurchase agreements. In addition, the consumer loan market transaction volume in February reached $896 million, a 10% increase compared to the previous period.
