NEW York Stock Exchange

Securitize shares dropped sharply after the tokenization firm missed Wall Street expectations in its first quarterly update as a public company. Platform activity remained strong, with record average tokenized assets under management and a jump in transaction volume.

Polymarket is reportedly pursuing a new funding round at a $20 billion valuation, months after closing capital at a $15 billion valuation. The move comes as prediction markets draw deeper interest from crypto platforms, brokerages and regulated competitors.

Securitize Capital has registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as an investment adviser, expanding the tokenization firm’s regulated business stack. The move strengthens Securitize’s position with institutional asset managers as onchain investment products, tokenized vaults and blockchain-based securities infrastructure draw closer regulatory attention.

Payward is widening its xStocks framework beyond U.S. equities with plans to add Hong Kong-listed shares and later U.K., European and South Korean stocks, pending regulatory approvals. The move intensifies the race to bring global stock markets onchain as tokenized securities gain momentum across crypto and traditional finance.
