Securitize’s Chongwu Du says tokenized finance will run on a few blockchains, not one
The firm's chief strategy officer told a Singapore audience that the future of onchain assets is multichain, and Securitize is already building that way
The debate over which blockchain will “win” tokenized finance may be asking the wrong question. According to Securitize Chief Strategy Officer Chongwu Du, there won’t be a single winner at all.
Speaking at the LONGITUDE Singapore event on October 8, 2026, Du said tokenized finance will concentrate on a handful of blockchains rather than one dominant network.
A multichain bet, backed by real assets
The firm lets assets be issued and settled across several networks while staying inside regulatory guardrails.
The company supports compliant issuance across at least 18 blockchains. Its footprint includes Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, Sui, and TRON.
Securitize managed approximately $5 billion in tokenized assets as of September 2026.
Its partner list reads like a who’s who of asset management. The firm has worked with BlackRock, KKR, and Neuberger Berman.

A busy two weeks
On September 30, 2026, Securitize announced an integration with ADI Chain, a network based in the UAE.
Then on October 6, 2026, the firm signed a memorandum of understanding with LG CNS in Korea. The two will explore tokenized funds and stablecoins together.
The biggest headline came on October 8, 2026, the same day as Du’s appearance. Securitize launched tokenized US stocks on Solana, each backed 1:1 by the underlying shares.
Who is Chongwu Du
Du took the chief strategy officer role at Securitize in February 2026. He previously held roles at J.P. Morgan Asset Management. He also worked with Wharton’s Cypher Accelerator, a program focused on blockchain startups.
The regulatory backbone
Securitize operates as an SEC-registered broker-dealer and digital transfer agent. It also runs an alternative trading system, or ATS, a regulated venue where securities can be bought and sold outside a traditional exchange.
Having registered status lets Securitize keep compliance consistent across chains. The rules stay with the asset, not the network.
