Securitize and Socios.com launch tokenized sports equity
7 Investments Securitize and Socios.com will offer regulated tokenized equity for sports teams, letting fans and investors buy minority stakes via blockchain-based equity tokens.
Securitize and Socios.com have formed a strategic partnership to launch regulated tokenized equity offerings for professional sports teams under the Socios Equity Token brand. This initiative will enable both fans and institutional investors to acquire minority stakes in sports clubs via blockchain-based equity tokens, providing a regulated and accessible investment platform. Socios.com will focus on sports industry relationships and fan engagement, while Securitize will handle regulated securities issuance, investor onboarding, and ownership management across its U.S. and European platforms. The project is set to debut through Securitize’s fully authorized European Trading & Settlement System under the EU DLT Pilot Regime. Unlike traditional fan tokens, these equity tokens represent actual shares, opening up investment opportunities previously limited to wealthy individuals. With the global professional sports franchise market valued at $500 billion, this partnership aims to democratize minority ownership. Details on participating teams and offering terms will be shared following regulatory approval.
