SEC-registered transfer agent (e.g., Computershare, DTC)
Securitize
Maintains the authoritative register of securities holders, processes distributions/dividends and handles record-keeping for regulated securities.
TradFi analogue
Securitize maintains the register on public blockchains as programmable security tokens, enabling near-instant 24/7 peer-to-peer transfer among whitelisted wallets and atomic on-chain compliance rather than T+1/T+2 batch settlement through legacy intermediaries.
Securities issuance & private-placement platform / broker-dealer
Securitize
Facilitates primary issuance of securities to qualified/accredited investors and operates a regulated marketplace (ATS) for trading them, like a traditional placement agent plus alternative trading venue.
TradFi analogue
Ownership is represented as tokens governed by embedded compliance code (lockups, jurisdiction limits, whitelists) that execute automatically, reducing manual intermediation and enabling fractionalization and multi-chain distribution.
