🔥Presto Original🔥 The Platform Layer of Tokenized Securities Why Presto Invested in Securitize ■ Tokenization is climbing the asset-complexity curve, from stablecoins ($300B+) to tokenized Treasuries and now to equities, a $140T+ market that remains almost entirely on-chain-untapped today. ■ Securitize is the most fully regulated, vertically integrated tokenization platform, and its direct issuer-sponsored model, where the token is the real share rather than a wrapper, is the structure the SEC treats as most consistent with existing securities law, already proven at scale through BlackRock's BUIDL and now extending into equities. ■Presto invested because value in tokenization accrues to the trusted, regulated infrastructure layer, much as it did for stablecoin issuers, and Securitize is furthest along that curve, making now the window to back the emerging category leader.
