Are We Finally Ready to Tokenize the World?｜Bankless

Securitize CEO Carlos Domingo projects the tokenized asset market will reach $1 trillion within three years, emphasizing a shift from synthetic derivatives to compliant, issuer-native tokenized securities. Following a $400 million SPAC merger and its NYSE listing under ticker SECZ, Securitize is scaling its infrastructure to bridge traditional financial regulations with blockchain efficiency. The company currently manages tokenized assets on Avalanche and Solana, navigating complex U.S. requirements like Regulation NMS by integrating off-chain price feeds to ensure National Best Bid and Offer compliance. Domingo identifies the primary industry bottleneck as a lack of mainstream consumption, noting that current friction—such as manual wallet management—limits adoption to crypto-native users. To achieve mass-market scale, the industry requires regulatory simplification, specifically the potential removal of NBBO constraints, and the development of robust on-chain spot and perpetual futures ecosystems. By providing regulated transfer agent, broker-dealer, and fund administration services, Securitize aims to capture a significant share of the projected $1 trillion market. This transition represents a fundamental move toward true on-chain ownership, which the company argues will eventually displace offshore synthetic alternatives.
