Serving 1.2M Investor Accounts and 3,000 Clients, Securitize Becomes a Top 10 U.S. Stock Transfer Agent, and is the Only Large Transfer Agent Capable of Tokenizing Securities on the Blockchain

As the first and leading transfer agent operating with digital asset securities, Securitize’s acquisition of Pacific Stock Transfer is a significant step in bridging the process of issuing shares and tracking their ownership from its paper-based past, to a blockchain-enabled digital future–including by issuing and managing the shares of publicly-traded companies traded on the NYSE, NASDAQ or OTC.
Securitize is an end-to-end digital asset securities firm that provides a full suite of capabilities for private companies to raise capital, compliantly onboard shareholders, issue both traditional book entry and tokenized shares, service shares throughout their lifecycle, and provide a path to liquidity through secondary market trading.
