Benchmark reiterated its bullish outlook on Securitize in its latest research report, giving it a target price of $16 post-IPO (stock code SECZ), believing it is poised to significantly benefit from the wave of tokenized assets.Analysis indicates that the total market capitalization of companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange is approximately $44 trillion. If Securitize captures just 1 basis point (0.01%) of that market, its platform asset size could double from the current approximately $4 billion. Benchmark emphasizes that Securitize is not only a tokenization platform but also possesses a "complete regulatory qualification system" that includes broker-dealer, transfer agent, and trading functions, which is expected to generate diversified income throughout the entire lifecycle of asset issuance, secondary trading, and custody services. Additionally, the company has been designated as the digital transfer agent for the tokenized securities platform that the New York Stock Exchange plans to launch, which supports 24/7 trading. Meanwhile, its tokenized U.S. Treasury fund BUIDL, in collaboration with BlackRock, has approached $3 billion, indicating rapid growth in the institutional-level RWA market. However, Benchmark also cautions that factors such as regulatory uncertainty, fragmented liquidity, and technological risks may still exert pressure on its valuation.

According to CoinDesk, tokenization service provider Securitize announced plans to launch what it calls the first fully compliant, fully on-chain trading platform for real publicly traded company stocks in early 2026, further bridging traditional financial markets with Web3 infrastructure.According to the announcement, the platform will allow investors to directly hold real shares of publicly traded companies that are issued and registered on-chain, and trade them through a blockchain interface. Unlike "synthetic stocks," which only track stock prices through derivatives or offshore structures, Securitize's model provides complete legal ownership, with shares issued directly by the issuing company and recorded in the official shareholder register.Securitize stated that on-chain stockholders will enjoy real shareholder rights, including dividends and voting rights, with assets self-custodied by users, eliminating the situation where intermediaries privately re-stake shares. However, due to compliance requirements, the relevant assets can only be transferred between approved whitelisted wallets.The trading interface will adopt a DeFi-like Swap style, but will be supported by SEC-registered brokers and transfer agents. During U.S. stock trading hours, prices will align with mainstream exchanges and comply with the "National Best Bid and Offer (NBBO)" rules; during non-trading hours, pricing will be determined by an automated market-making mechanism, enabling 24/7 uninterrupted trading.

According to Decrypt, Securitize co-founder and CEO Carlos Domingo stated that accessibility is not the only factor driving the wave of tokenized assets. It was once believed that tokenization could make illiquid assets more liquid, but this is not the case. Whether it's equity in apartment buildings or tokenized Pokémon cards, digital assets will inherit the liquidity shortcomings of their physical counterparts.Domingo also mentioned that as tokenization technology develops, this dynamic may eventually change. However, in the meantime, people are primarily focused on assets that can enhance existing liquidity, namely cash and U.S. Treasury bonds. We have moved in the opposite direction from illiquid markets, and it can be said that the most successful tokenized asset is actually the dollar, as evidenced by the growth of stablecoins.
