CURRENC Capital and Securitize Announce Strategic Collaboration to Advance Issuer-Sponsored Tokenization of Public Equities

CURRENC Capital, a subsidiary of Nasdaq-listed Currenc, has entered a strategic partnership with Securitize to promote issuer-sponsored tokenization for public companies. This collaboration leverages Currenc's experience from April 2026, when it became one of the first Nasdaq-listed firms to bring its ordinary shares onchain via Ethereum and Solana. By combining Currenc's issuer perspective with Securitize's regulated digital-securities infrastructure, the partnership aims to help other public companies modernize share ownership and administration. The initiative focuses on issuer-sponsored tokenization, where companies authorize the onchain representation of their equity while maintaining the rights of the underlying security. This approach is designed to enable future onchain functionalities such as 24/7 market access, programmable settlement, and enhanced shareholder engagement. The move represents a significant step in expanding tokenization beyond private funds into the broader public equity market. By providing a regulated framework for public issuers, the partnership seeks to address the operational and legal complexities inherent in transitioning traditional equities to blockchain-based systems.
