The Largest Securities Exchange in the World is Coming Onchain | Michael Blaugrund of NYSE and Carlos Domingo of Securitize

The discussion centers on the partnership between Securitize and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) to facilitate the tokenization of securities on public blockchains. Carlos Domingo from Securitize and Michael Blaugrund from the NYSE explain how this collaboration aims to create native blockchain securities, where the token itself represents the equity. A key focus is on the role of Securitize as a digital transfer agent, ensuring regulatory compliance and managing the ownership records of tokenized assets. The conversation explores the potential for a new NYSE-affiliated tokenized security platform to aggregate tokenized securities across various blockchains, offering investors 24/7 trading and instant settlement. The speakers address the debate around permissioned versus permissionless ledgers, with Domingo advocating for public permissionless networks for open innovation.
