Securitize, the BlackRock-backed tokenization platform, went public on the New York Stock Exchange through a SPAC merger, raising $400 million in the process. Shares climbed 3% on their first trading day. In a notable first, the company simultaneously tokenized $295 million worth of its own equity on the Solana and Avalanche blockchains — making it one of the first public companies to run its stock on-chain alongside traditional exchange listing.
This is a meaningful signal that real-world asset tokenization is moving from proof-of-concept into institutional-grade market infrastructure. Investors holding Solana (SOL) and Avalanche (AVAX) benefit from the validation of their networks as venues for tokenized securities. BlackRock's backing adds credibility that could accelerate adoption across the broader tokenization ecosystem.
Next SEC guidance on tokenized securities regulation (ongoing, watch for formal rulemaking). Solana and Avalanche ecosystem conferences and developer updates. Any announcement of additional BlackRock tokenized fund expansions on either blockchain.
