Securitize and Computershare partner to tokenize U.S. stocks

Securities token platform Securitize has partnered with Computershare to build the infrastructure for tokenizing U.S. stocks and expanding the market onto the blockchain, CoinDesk reported. The collaboration will allow publicly traded companies to issue shares in a tokenized format, officially known as Issuer-Sponsored Tokens (IST), alongside their traditional equity. According to Securitize, this will enable investors to hold their shares in digital wallets in addition to conventional brokerage accounts.
