US EditionWorld’s Largest Stock Transfer Agent Is Moving Into Tokenization Through Partnership With Securitize
The tie-up lets issuers offer blockchain-based shares with traditional shareholder rights and faster settlement while keeping Computershare as transfer agent.
- Computershare and Securitize announced a partnership allowing U.S.-listed clients to issue blockchain-based Issuer-Sponsored Tokens , integrating traditional Wall Street infrastructure with digital wallet technology for direct equity ownership.
- Computershare, which manages records for about 58% of the S&P 500, sought a less disruptive path for companies to tokenize equity while retaining control of their shareholder base.
- Unlike derivative tokens from Kraken or Robinhood, ISTs provide direct equity ownership with voting rights. Securitize CEO Carlos Domingo stated they "create direct equity ownership in token form."
- Tokenization enables transfer agents to automate corporate actions like dividend payments and proxy voting. Ann Bowering, CEO of Issuer Services at Computershare North America, said issuers want "greater transparency into their shareholder base."
- The partnership marks a major escalation in Computershare's blockchain strategy, affecting its oversight of roughly 35 million shareholder accounts and positioning the firm to access new liquidity venues and digital-native investors.
