The stock surged 9.4% Monday after the investment firm initiated coverage of the tokenization platform with an overweight rating and a 12-month price target of $21.20 — suggesting a 95% upside from Friday’s close. Securitize’s platform supports tokenization of traditional assets like stocks and funds. The company has about $5 billion in assets across 23 public blockchains. The company made it debut on the New York Stock Exchange earlier this summer on Jul. 2. Cantor estimates $39 billion, or 0.01% of the world’s $319 trillion in traditional financial assets, currently exists onchain. That puts Securitize near the beginning of a massive undertaking in this financial infrastructure transformation, according to analyst Gareth Gacetta. SECZ YTD mountain SECZ in 2026 “Tokenization is the largest overhaul financial infrastructure has seen over the past century, and Securitize is the public company covering most of that lifecycle, issuing, registering, custodying, distributing, and enabling trading of the asset under a single roof,” Gacetta said in a note to clients. “If the world goes onchain, a large share of it goes onchain with Securitize,” he added. Cantor’s initiation comes as the Securities and Exchange Commission announced a temporary rule that allows limited trading of U.S. tokenized stocks Thursday.

Analysts called out Securitize’s distinct advantage: Unlike its competitors, Securitize offers a “regulated tokenization stack” that issues, registers, custodies, distributes, and trades securities under one regulatory roof, according to Cantor. While the stock is down 3.5% year to date, the firm is optimistic of the opportunity ahead. “If the world goes onchain, a large share of it goes onchain with Securitize,” Cantor said.Read More
