DTCC's new tokenization service could validate rather than threaten Securitize's business, StoneX analysts argue. DTCC is initially limiting its permissioned service to certain securities, participants and blockchain networks, while Securitize focuses on public-blockchain assets. Analyst Mark Palmer said Securitize already holds the regulatory infrastructure issuers need to bring shares on-chain.
Securitize expanded its tokenized U.S. stock offering to 25 equities on Monday, adding 13 companies, including ExxonMobil, GameStop, Salesforce and Disney. The tokens trade on Solana and are backed 1:1 by underlying shares, with eligible investors receiving associated economic benefits and rights, including dividends and voting rights where applicable.
Why it matters
The platforms target different models for tokenized securities. StoneX says DTCC's launch opens a debate over where tokenized U.S. equities will ultimately be anchored, but sees Securitize's regulatory stack as a competitive advantage for issuers seeking public-chain issuance.
Tokenized assets could also become collateral across markets. StoneX points to the possibility of tokenized Treasuries moving around the clock, supporting demand for tokenized fund shares and equities as collateral. That use case is already taking shape in DeFi: tokenized private credit on Solana reached $1.44 billion, and Securitize and Maple credit tokens are accepted as collateral in lending markets including Kamino.
Market impact
Securitize's expanded equity lineup and collateral use cases could support revenue beyond integration fees, including transaction and servicing revenue. StoneX has identified collateral-related revenue as a potential longer-term opportunity and reiterated its buy rating and $18 price target on SECZ shares.
SECZ traded around $7.30 at publication time, down 24% since going public in July 2025. The gap between that price and StoneX's target reflects the potential upside analysts see, while adoption of tokenized assets and their use as collateral remain key parts of the company's growth case.
