Securitize has launched tokenized U.S. stocks as third-party entitlement tokens without issuer sponsorship, providing ownership and voting rights similar to broker omnibus accounts, and positioning these tokens as convertible to issuer-sponsored versions if companies opt to issue them later.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You must update your compliance and product models to handle third-party entitlement tokens that mimic real stock ownership without issuer involvement. This opens a new on-ramp to tokenized equities ahead of formal issuer-backed offerings.
