Securitize Discusses Tokenization Challenges at Chainlink's Link:NYC Event

During the Chainlink Link:NYC event, Securitize's Vice President of Issuer Growth, Giang Bui, addressed the complexities of scaling tokenization beyond the initial asset creation. The event, held around October 29, 2026, brought attention to three primary hurdles: liquidity, distribution, and interoperability.

Securitize has demonstrated significant growth in its tokenized US stock platform on Solana, expanding its offerings from 12 to 25 equities, which include major companies like Exxon Mobil, Disney, and Uber. As of November 2, 2026, Securitize managed over $4 billion in tokenized securities, partnering with notable asset managers such as BlackRock and VanEck.

Bui emphasized that the conversation around tokenization is shifting from whether assets can be tokenized to whether they can be traded effectively. The firm is also working with the NYSE to develop a 24/7 trading venue for tokenized securities, although this initiative is still in the memorandum of understanding stage.

As the industry evolves, the focus remains on expanding the roster of tokenized equities and enhancing liquidity, which is crucial for broader adoption and utility in the market.
