Centralized Gatekeepers Retain Control Over Tokenized Stock Settlement Infrastructure

Analysis found that tokenized equity settlement remains routed through legacy centralized Wall Street infrastructure rather than decentralized rails, with traditional gatekeepers retaining control over investor access to tokenized stock products. Securitize and tZERO were separately engaged in patent litigation over tokenization technology, with Securitize filing a complaint against tZERO and asking a court to reject the claims as meritless.
