Securitize Gains FINRA Approval to Expand Broker-Dealer Services

Securitize has received approval from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) to broaden its broker-dealer capabilities, marking a significant milestone as the first U.S. broker-dealer authorized to offer custody for security tokens. According to NS3.AI, this approval enables Securitize to facilitate on-chain initial public offering (IPO) infrastructure, execute atomic swaps between security tokens and stablecoins, and manage on-chain clearing and settlement within a single transaction. Additionally, Securitize is now positioned to act as an underwriter or participate as a member of a selling group in public offerings of security tokens.
