FG Nexus Partners with Securitize to Expand Tokenization Options for Shareholders

Highlights:

• FG Nexus partners with Securitize to bring instant settlement and legal ownership of tokenized shares on Ethereum.
• FG Nexus will let investors convert shares into Ethereum tokens, giving them the same rights as traditional stock.
• Tokenized equities expand as firms like Robinhood, Gemini, and Kraken launch digital versions of stocks and funds.

FG Nexus announced Thursday that it will allow shareholders to tokenize their common and preferred stock on the Ethereum blockchain. The company said investors can choose to convert existing shares into Ethereum-based tokens while keeping the same ownership rights. FG Nexus becomes one of the first Nasdaq-listed firms to extend tokenization options for equity, giving investors new ways to access stock ownership.

The program will include the company’s common shares and its perpetual preferred stock. The preferred stock pays dividends, making this initiative the first time a U.S. exchange-listed dividend equity will move fully onchain. Investors who elect to tokenize their holdings will maintain identical rights, including the ability to receive dividends and participate in voting.

FG Nexus highlighted that the move aligns with its broader Ethereum-focused treasury strategy. The company recently raised $200 million to support this shift and has built holdings of more than 47,000 ETH. The announcement follows rising interest in tokenized equity as firms look to increase efficiency and broaden investor access.

Kyle Cerminara, Co-Founder and CEO of FG Nexus, said,“Our agreement with Securitize shows our commitment to modern financial solutions that benefit investors.”

FG Nexus Partners with Securitize to Enable Onchain Trading

FG Nexus selected Securitize to manage the tokenization process, which will run on a fully regulated framework. Securitize will provide broker-dealer services, an Alternative Trading System (ATS), and transfer agent support. These elements ensure that tokenized shares represent recognized legal ownership while still being subject to traditional restrictions on share transfers.

The partnership aims to simplify equity ownership and settlement. Investors who hold tokenized stock will gain access to instant settlement, automated compliance, and direct onchain trading. The process provides the same security as traditional equities but with faster settlement times and fewer intermediaries. Carlos Domingo, Co-Founder and CEO of Securitize, said, “This project allows U.S. investors to hold real stock with instant settlement and the ability to trade onchain.”

FG Nexus also linked the tokenization program to its strategic focus on Ethereum. The company holds over $208 million worth of ETH, making it well-positioned to synchronize its treasury activities with its blockchain-based initiatives.

Wider Push Toward Onchain Equities

FG Nexus announcement comes when tokenization of public equities is gaining momentum. A number of platforms have launched tokenized shares of large companies and exchange-traded funds. The increasing popularity of tokenized investment products is evidenced by recent offerings by Robinhood, Gemini, Kraken, and Ondo Finance.

Securitize has been at the forefront of this trend. The company had already launched BlackRock $4 billion tokenized money market fund and tokenized Exodus shares in 2021. Its work with FG Nexus expands this track record and strengthens the push for equities to exist directly on blockchain networks.

Other corporations are also looking into the tokenization of their stock. Another Ethereum treasury company, SharpLink Gaming, just partnered with Superstate to offer its shares on Ethereum. This indicates traction amongst publicly traded firms seeking to provide blockchain-based equity instruments.
