Securitize Bets on Multichain Tokenized Finance
Securitize Chief Strategy Officer Chongwu Du said tokenized finance is likely to operate across a handful of blockchains, rather than settle on one dominant network. He made the comments at LONGITUDE Singapore on 8 October 2026.
Securitize supports compliant asset issuance on at least 18 blockchains, including Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, Sui and TRON. It managed about $5 billion in tokenized assets as of September 2026 and has worked with BlackRock, KKR and Neuberger Berman.
Recent moves include an integration with UAE-based ADI Chain and a memorandum of understanding with South Korea’s LG CNS to explore tokenized funds and stablecoins. Securitize also launched tokenized US stocks on Solana, backed one-to-one by the underlying shares.
For crypto traders, the comments reinforce the prospect of multichain infrastructure for real-world assets. However, they do not signal an immediate change in token prices or guarantee that any particular blockchain will capture a lasting share of tokenized finance.
Neutral
The news is structurally positive for blockchain adoption but has no clear, immediate catalyst for a broad crypto-market move. Du’s view that tokenized finance will use several networks, combined with Securitize’s support for at least 18 chains and its launch of tokenized US stocks on Solana, points to continued institutional experimentation and potential demand for blockchain infrastructure.
For short-term trading, the effect is likely to be limited. The announcement does not provide new asset-flow figures, revenue projections or a change in token economics. SOL and other networks named may attract attention, but traders would need to see sustained issuance, user activity, liquidity and fees before treating the news as a lasting price driver. As with earlier institutional tokenization announcements, initial enthusiasm can fade if adoption metrics do not follow.
Over the longer term, compliant issuance across multiple chains could broaden the market for real-world assets and support activity across several ecosystems rather than concentrating it in one. That could benefit infrastructure and liquidity providers, while also increasing competition between networks. Regulatory developments, interoperability, custody and the actual scale of tokenized products will remain key indicators. On balance, the announcement supports the sector’s outlook but does not justify a directional market call, so the expected impact is neutral.
