Securitize Surges After SEC Announces Temporary Approval for Tokenized U.S. Stock Trading
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced a temporary framework allowing the limited trading of tokenized publicly traded U.S. stocks, which has led to a significant rise in Securitize's stock price. The order is not a formal regulation change but will remain effective for five years. This development marks progress toward enabling responsible innovation while maintaining investor protections and market integrity. Securitize became the first major tokenization firm to go public in the U.S., holding approximately 9% of the tokenized asset market by assets under management. Analysts believe it is well-positioned to benefit from a growing interest in real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, with the combined value of such assets reaching $38.51 billion as of Thursday afternoon.
