Securitize and Socios.com Partner on Tokenized Equity Offerings for Professional Sports Teams
Securitize Corp. (NYSE: SECZ) has partnered with Socios.com to develop regulated tokenized equity offerings involving minority interests in professional sports teams. The collaboration aims to leverage Socios.com's strong relationships within the global sports industry and Securitize’s compliant blockchain infrastructure for issuing, managing, and trading these digital assets. The initiative plans to tokenize minority ownership stakes under the brand 'Socios Equity Token,' subject to legal compliance across jurisdictions. This effort is expected to be one of the first projects launched via Securitize's European Trading & Settlement System operating within the EU DLT Pilot Regime, enhancing access and liquidity for a traditionally private asset class valued at approximately $500 billion globally. The partnership seeks to connect fans with economic opportunities in their favorite teams while offering institutional investors exposure to high-value sports assets. Socios.com has already issued Fan Tokens® with over 70 major global sports organizations, but these will remain distinct from the new tokenized equity offerings.
