Securitize appoints former SEC and JPMorgan executive Brett Redfearn as president and board member, strengthening leadership as tokenization and digital asset markets expand

Redfearn ran the SEC's Division of Trading and Markets from 2017-2020 — the exact office that governs ATS and NMS frameworks for how securities actually trade in the US. Securitize is bringing him on right as they're filing to go public via Cantor SPAC at a $1.25B valuation, projecting $9B AUM by year-end (up from ~$4B now). With BUIDL already near $3B and live on UniswapX, they need someone who's sat across the table from the SEC when these tokenized fund structures inevitably get scrutinized at scale.
