Currenc Tokenizes Ordinary Shares on Securitize Platform
Securitize, which has announced a proposed business combination with Cantor Equity Partners II (CEPT), announced that Currenc Group (CURR) has tokenized its ordinary shares on the Securitize platform, bringing tokenized public company shares onchain across both Ethereum and Solana. By bringing its ordinary shares onchain, Currenc is advancing an existing model for public markets in which shares are not only digitally represented, but potentially more functional within a modern financial system. Tokenized Currenc ordinary shares are expected to offer broader convenience, including 24/7 trading, lower-cost transactions, fractional ownership, and integration with decentralized finance infrastructure and algorithmic strategies. Currenc is a fintech company focused on cross-border payments, e-wallet infrastructure, and AI-powered enterprise tools for financial institutions. The company has also announced a proposed reverse merger with Animoca Brands, which would result in a Nasdaq-listed company with exposure across digital assets, gaming, AI, decentralized finance, and blockchain infrastructure. The Animoca Transaction remains subject to, among other things, the negotiation of definitive documents, applicable regulatory approvals, shareholder approvals, and satisfaction of customary closing conditions, and there can be no assurance that the Animoca Transaction will be completed on the anticipated terms or timeline, or at all.
