Alpaca Joins Industry Coalition Focused on Issuer-Sponsored Tokenized Securities

Alpaca has joined the Issuer Sponsored Token Coalition, formed by Bullish and Equiniti, to help develop standards for tokenized public securities that preserve shareholder rights, investor protections, and connections to traditional capital-market infrastructure. As an early market-infrastructure participant, Alpaca plans to support issuer-sponsored tokens through its Instant Tokenization Network, which enables authorized participants to mint and redeem tokens in-kind against underlying shares while Alpaca provides brokerage, custody, clearing, settlement, and share movement services. The coalition will focus on legal and economic rights, technical interoperability between blockchain and conventional market systems, operational requirements for issuance and trading, and broader ecosystem participation. Alpaca says it held approximately 94% of the relevant tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs custody market by the end of 2025, based on its own analysis, and works with several token issuers. Coalition participants are scheduled to meet at the New York Stock Exchange on October 27 to discuss how public companies and market infrastructure can support issuer-sponsored tokenization, while Alpaca notes that tokenized assets may offer economic exposure rather than direct ownership and can carry substantial investment risks.
