Securitize, the world's largest real-world tokenization platform, has appointed Brett Redfearn as its new president, the company said Thursday.

Redfearn, who will simultaneously serve on the firm's board of directors, previously worked at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and JPMorgan. The executive also briefly worked at Coinbase, according to his LinkedIn.

"As president, Redfearn will work with Securitize's leadership team to scale the company's regulated platform across issuance, trading, and fund administration, while driving engagement with regulators, exchanges, and institutional partners," Securitize said in a statement. "In his role as a member of the Board of Directors, he will also help guide the company's long-term strategy as tokenization becomes embedded in global market infrastructure."

According to RWA.xyz data, Securitize is the largest RWA platform with $3.9 billion in tokenized assets. The company has partnered with both BlackRock, whose BUIDL fund is the largest tokenized fund, and Apollo.

Additionally, Securitize recently proposed a "business combination" with Cantor Equity Partners II. The company accounts for roughly 70% of the U.S. tokenization market.

"Securitize is perfectly positioned to lead the implementation of the tokenized financial infrastructure of the future," Redfearn said in a statement. "The company has taken a compliance-first approach to tokenization from the beginning, without cutting corners."
