Currenc Group Inc., a Cayman Islands company listed on Nasdaq under the ticker CURR, disclosed in a Form 6-K filed April 9 that it has partnered with Securitize to let shareholders tokenize the company's ordinary shares. The shares can now be held on-chain across Ethereum and Solana. Securitize acts as co-transfer agent, and the filing says tokenized holders get the same ownership, voting, and corporate action rights as holders of non-tokenized shares — including in stock splits, mergers, and spin-offs.
Not a new asset — same stock, on-chain wrapper
Currenc is not issuing a new instrument. It is applying tokenized recordkeeping and transfer to an already listed security. Securitize said separately the arrangement covers Currenc's Nasdaq-listed ordinary shares and framed it as part of a broader push to bring traditional securities on-chain.
SEC context
In January, SEC staff said a security remains subject to federal securities laws regardless of whether it is issued or recorded in tokenized form, and that an issuer can use distributed ledger technology for ownership records without changing the legal character of the instrument. That is exactly what Currenc is doing here.
Infrastructure and open questions
FINRA records show Securitize Markets, LLC operates a broker-dealer handling private placements of digital securities and runs an alternative trading system for secondary transactions. Currenc's filing does not specify a particular venue for live secondary trading of its tokenized shares. It also does not set out detailed terms on eligibility, custody, or transfer restrictions.
For shareholders, the change is that they can now hold CURR in tokenized form with the same rights as conventional shares. For the broader market, Currenc joins a small but growing list of Nasdaq-listed companies making their equity available on-chain through Securitize.
