What to know : Securitize has named former SEC Division of Trading and Markets director Brett Redfearn as president and board member as it prepares to go public this year. The hire bolsters Securitize’s regulatory credentials as it seeks to scale its tokenization platform for issuing, trading and administering blockchain-based versions of traditional financial assets. Redfearn’s background at the SEC, Coinbase and his own advisory firm reflects a broader industry trend of bringing in ex-regulators to navigate the growing but complex market for tokenized assets.
Securitize has appointed former U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) official Brett Redfearn as president and a member of its board, adding regulatory experience as the firm prepares to go public this year.
Redfearn, who previously led the SEC’s Division of Trading and Markets, will work with Securitize’s leadership team to scale its offerings across issuance, trading and fund administration, the company announced in a press release. The company focuses on turning traditional financial assets, such as funds or private credit, into blockchain-based tokens that can be traded more easily.
His appointment comes at a time when tokenization is gaining traction among large financial firms. Banks and asset managers are testing ways to move assets onto blockchain rails in an effort to speed up settlement and widen access to investors.
Securitize is positioning itself as a regulated bridge between those institutions and digital asset infrastructure. The hire adds weight to Securitize’s leadership as it prepares for a proposed public listing through a business combination with Cantor Equity Partners II. It also reflects a broader trend of firms bringing in former regulators to navigate a complex policy environment.
“Brett has been instrumental in how modern markets are structured and regulated,” Securitize co-founder and CEO Carlos Domingo said in a statement. “He is deeply familiar with our business, leadership team, and long-term vision.”
Redfearn brings experience from both traditional finance and crypto. Before joining Securitize, he founded Panorama Financial Markets Advisory, advising exchanges and asset managers. He also served as head of capital markets at Coinbase (COIN), where he worked on expanding institutional participation in digital assets. Prior to joining the SEC, Redfearn was at JP Morgan for over a dozen years.
