Securitize will launch "real" rather than "synthetic" shares on-chain, with full shareholder rights.

Securitize announced plans to launch an on-chain equity product in the coming months, targeting Q1 2026. The company's product will be "real, regulated shares," issued on-chain, recorded in the issuer's equity structure table, and representing full shareholder rights, including dividends and proxy voting. Securitize stated that this is not a synthetic price tracker or an IOU provided by a custodian. The company aims to eliminate the barriers between traditionally issued shares and their on-chain counterparts, stating that "the token itself is legally recognized equity." (TheBlock)
