Securitize hires former PayPal exec as US tokenization gains traction
Securitize hires former PayPal executive Jerome Roche as it expands regulated tokenized securities for US investors and builds on fresh approvals in Europe.
Major tokenization platform Securitize has doubled down on its push to bring tokenized equity to US investors, naming a former PayPal executive as its new general counsel.
Securitize on Tuesday announced the appointment of ex-PayPal executive Jerome Roche, who led the company’s expansion into digital asset projects, including the PayPal USD (PYUSD) stablecoin.
Securitize also said its tokenized securities are already available to US investors, challenging the notion that most issuers prefer to offer such products abroad due to local stock access.
