Cantor and Securitize bring blockchain infrastructure into IPO issuance

Cantor has partnered with Securitize to introduce blockchain infrastructure into initial public offerings and follow-on stock issuance, according to Techub News, citing crypto.news. The arrangement is designed to let companies raise capital and issue securities on-chain while staying within the current regulatory framework for capital markets. Securitize had already taken its own shares public through the New York Stock Exchange and tokenized that equity. This new partnership moves blockchain use further upstream, into the primary issuance process itself, rather than limiting tokenization to shares that are already listed. Securitize said the setup could modernize how equity records are maintained and how allocation and settlement are handled. The announcement focuses on integrating blockchain into issuance workflows under existing rules, rather than positioning the effort outside traditional market structures.
