According to CoinDesk, Securitize, a tokenization platform supported by BlackRock, announced a partnership with global stock transfer agent giant Computershare, allowing U.S. listed companies to issue on-chain tokenized equity (Issuer-Sponsored Tokens, ISTs) outside of the existing stock system.

Under the plan, investors will have the option to hold shares through traditional securities accounts or directly hold corresponding on-chain equity assets through digital wallets. Computershare will continue to act as the transfer agent, responsible for managing shareholder registries, dividend distributions, and handling corporate actions such as stock splits.

Reports indicate that the core of this structure is to avoid the common "wrapped shares" model found in the traditional crypto market. Unlike derivative tokens that only represent a claim to shares, ISTs will directly represent real equity ownership, rather than a mapping certificate of off-chain stocks.

Carlos Domingo stated that ISTs are not derivatives built on existing stocks, but rather allow U.S. issuers to create real equity directly in token form.

Data shows that Computershare currently serves over 25,000 companies and acts as the transfer agent for about 58% of S&P 500 companies. The market believes that this collaboration signifies that blockchain infrastructure is gradually entering the backend system of the core U.S. securities market, which may further promote the on-chain settlement, equity registration, and asset circulation of U.S. stocks.
