"Securitize and Computershare launched Issuer-Sponsored Tokens, allowing U.S. public issuers to include ISTs alongside existing shares as part of their issued capital."
"Computershare, which serves more than 25,000 companies, will act as transfer agent for client ISTs, processing corporate actions alongside traditional directly registered holdings."
"Carlos Domingo, co-founder and CEO of Securitize, stated that the tokens create direct equity ownership in token form without altering the underlying equity itself."
"Securitize disclosed that it currently manages more than $4 billion in assets under management (AUM) as of April 2026, aiming to expand IST interoperability."
Securitize and Computershare have partnered to allow U.S.-listed companies to issue Issuer-Sponsored Tokens (ISTs) on blockchain. This initiative enables direct equity ownership in digital form. Computershare, serving over 25,000 companies, will act as the transfer agent for these tokens. ISTs differ from derivative tokens by representing direct ownership without altering underlying equity. Securitize, managing over $4 billion in assets, aims to enhance IST interoperability as market adoption increases, creating a pathway for tokenization in the U.S. equity market.
