Can Tokenized Stocks Become a $3 Trillion Market? Securitize CEO Reveals Big Expansion Plan

Securitize has secured over $400 million following its public listing on the New York Stock Exchange to aggressively scale its institutional tokenization infrastructure. The firm currently manages approximately $4.4 billion in tokenized assets, including BlackRock’s $2.2 billion BUIDL fund and products for major institutions like Apollo, KKR, and VanEck. CEO Carlos Domingo intends to utilize this capital to acquire complementary businesses, aiming to build a comprehensive platform for the issuance, management, and trading of tokenized securities. While tokenized Treasuries have dominated early adoption, the company is pivoting toward the $140 trillion global equity market, projecting that a 2% migration could create a $3 trillion opportunity. This expansion aligns with broader industry forecasts from Citigroup and BCG, which estimate the total RWA market could reach between $5.5 trillion and $18.9 trillion by the next decade. The move underscores a growing institutional trend, as evidenced by partnerships with ICE and collaborations with Computershare to facilitate direct blockchain share issuance. As the total RWA market surpasses $64 billion, Securitize’s strategic growth positions it as a central player in the transition of traditional financial assets to distributed ledger technology.
