Securitize plans to launch regulated real on-chain stock products in Q1 2026

Securitize announced plans to launch on-chain stock products in the coming months, targeting the first quarter of 2026. This product involves issuing real, regulated shares on-chain, which are recorded in the issuer's cap table and represent full shareholder rights, including dividends and proxy voting. Securitize stated that this product is not a synthetic price tracker or an IOU provided by a custodian, aiming to eliminate the barriers between traditional share issuance and their on-chain counterparts, with the token itself being legally recognized as a share.
