Token ownership details

Securitize describes each token as a security entitlement under UCC Article 8, backed by an underlying share. Applicable economic benefits include dividends and voting rights where the underlying share class carries them. The product page says the backing share is held in a segregated account and that the shares backing the tokens are never lent out.

The legal holding arrangement depends on jurisdiction: U.S. customers hold security entitlements through Securitize Markets, while EU customers hold their interests through Securitize Europe Brokerage and Markets under its client terms and applicable EU and Spanish law.

Trading mechanisms

The platform charges .10% of the trade amount in $USDC, according to the FAQ. That fee covers the gas charges associated with execution. Share prices are also expressed as a $USDC exchange rate per share; the documentation notes that the stablecoin's exchange rate against the dollar can vary.

Orders enter as market orders, with execution at the best available market price subject to price protection. The fixed protection band is 0.10%, and users cannot change it. The platform automatically rejects an order if the execution price moves beyond the protected level.
