Securitize

 Basics

• DeFi assets
• "Digital securities. Equity | Funds | Fixed Income | Real Estate"
• Can be used (2-2020) to launch a security token on Tezos.
• From the CoinDesk 50:

"The idea that anything from real estate to executive salaries can be tokenized will open up the future of investing and crowd-ownership. While there’s a lot of hype around security tokens, with still a lot to show, Securitize is paving the way for this industry to get off the ground. Leveraging a network of partners and providers, including Coinbase Custody, BitGo and OpenFinance, among others, Securitize has found a compliant way to create these novel digital assets and trade them on the secondary market. To date, the firm has issued 13 security tokens worth approximately $300 million for clients including SPiCE VC, Blockchain Capital, 22x, and Lottery.com.
