Securitize’s Chongwu Du says tokenized finance will run on a few blockchains, not one

Securitize Chief Strategy Officer Chongwu Du stated at the LONGITUDE Singapore event on October 8, 2026, that the future of tokenized finance is multichain rather than dominated by a single network. The firm currently supports compliant asset issuance across at least 18 blockchains, including Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, Sui, and TRON. As of September 2026, Securitize managed approximately $5 billion in tokenized assets, maintaining partnerships with major institutions like BlackRock, KKR, and Neuberger Berman. To expand its global footprint, the company recently integrated with the UAE-based ADI Chain and signed a memorandum of understanding with Korea's LG CNS to explore tokenized funds and stablecoins. On October 8, 2026, Securitize furthered its multichain strategy by launching tokenized US stocks on the Solana blockchain, with each token backed 1:1 by underlying shares. By operating as an SEC-registered broker-dealer and digital transfer agent, the firm ensures that regulatory compliance remains attached to the asset rather than the specific blockchain. This approach highlights a shift toward interoperable, regulated infrastructure that allows institutional capital to flow across diverse networks without sacrificing legal oversight.
