Currenc Group has completed the tokenization of its ordinary shares on the Securitize platform across both Ethereum and Solana blockchains. This marks the first instance of a Nasdaq-listed company bringing its actual security tokens onchain with issuer involvement, rather than secondary token offerings.

Tokenized shares will support 24/7 trading, fractional ownership down to six decimal places, and reduced transaction costs. They can also be integrated into automated market makers, lending protocols for collateralization, and algorithmic trading strategies.

By enabling global, round-the-clock market access across Asia, Europe and the U.S., the onchain share model aims to broaden the investor base and enhance share liquidity. Institutional and retail investors may benefit from seamless settlement and programmable share functions.

Currenc has also proposed a reverse merger with Animoca Brands to create a combined Nasdaq-listed entity with exposure to digital assets, gaming, AI and DeFi infrastructure. This transaction remains subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.
