Injective files SEC transfer‑agent registration to move securities record‑keeping onchain

Injective, a layer‑1 blockchain focused on decentralized finance and tokenized real‑world assets, announced that it has filed for transfer‑agent registration with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The filing seeks approval to shift the core function of maintaining shareholder records and tracking securities ownership onto its blockchain, which settles transactions in under a second.

The registration request was not yet visible in the SEC’s EDGAR database, and the company did not disclose the legal entity behind the application. If approved, Injective would operate a regulated piece of U.S. market infrastructure, enabling compliant issuance and management of tokenized securities and other real‑world assets at scale.

The move reflects a broader industry trend of experimenting with blockchain for post‑trade processes, with firms such as Nasdaq and the Intercontinental Exchange also exploring on‑chain solutions for market data and tokenized equities.
