“Proud to share that @galaxyhq is the first Nasdaq-listed company to tokenize its equity on a major blockchain. Thanks to our partnership with @superstatefunds, shareholders can now hold $GLXY onchain on @solana. This is a milestone for capital markets.” — Mike Novogratz, Founder & CEO, Galaxy Digital
The transaction involves key players like Galaxy Digital‘s CEO Mike Novogratz and Superstate’s CEO Robert Leshner. Together they aim to enhance liquidity and broaden access to equity markets using blockchain.
Superstate maintains compliance as an SEC-registered transfer agent. This alignment signifies a forward-thinking approach to modern securities regulation.
Initial reactions from stakeholders highlight the project’s innovation. Investors and developers are focused on regulatory compliance, as tokenized shares merge with the growing real-world asset tokenization sector. Market impact could expand as more companies adopt similar models, potentially influencing traditional asset regulation. The success of Galaxy’s initiative may encourage broader utilization of blockchain in securities markets.
