: Computershare, a global leader in stock transfer agency, partner to most S&P 500 companies, and Australian financial giant, has officially announced a deep partnership with digital asset platform Securitize, formally entering the stock tokenization track to assist US publicly listed companies in issuing on-chain stock tokens. The two parties will launch Issuer-Supported Tokens (ISTs), which US-listed companies can issue on demand.
