Blockchain-based asset management firm Superstate has announced that it has registered its digital transfer agent, Superstate Services LLC, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This move is aimed at bridging tokenized assets with existing financial regulations. Transfer agents help manage shareholder records, process transactions, and distribute dividends, and as securities increasingly move on-chain, digital transfer agents play a crucial role in maintaining compliance and governance. Superstate Services will utilize blockchain-integrated record-keeping to track ownership in real-time, and a smart contract-driven allowlist will ensure that only approved investors can acquire tokenized shares. This registration follows SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce's statement last month emphasizing the importance of transfer agents in the future of tokenized securities. Superstate is a key player in the tokenized asset space, currently managing two tokenized security funds with over $420 million in assets. Initially, Superstate Services will support only its own funds, but the firm plans to expand its services as the market for tokenized securities grows.
