Securitize has received FINRA approval to expand its broker-dealer activities, becoming the first to custody tokenized securities within a regulated broker-dealer framework. This allows seamless atomic swaps and onchain settlement between tokenized securities and stablecoins, simplifying and speeding up transactions. The approval also enables Securitize Markets to underwrite and participate in selling tokenized securities during IPOs and secondary offerings, enhancing digital asset market efficiency. This milestone supports Securitize's plan to go public and advance onchain capital markets infrastructure globally.
