Tech & Launches ·
Bullish has selected Aptos as an initial network partner for equity tokenization services, developed in collaboration with transfer agent Equiniti. Under the arrangement, issuers will be able to tokenize their shares and record them onchain while Equiniti maintains the official ownership ledger, combining blockchain accessibility with traditional settlement infrastructure.
Tokenized shares on the platform could support continuous trading, near-instant settlement, automated corporate actions, and real-time ownership visibility—capabilities that Bullish states the current post-trade system was not built to accommodate. Aptos transactions settle in under a second at minimal cost, and the network already hosts tokenized funds from entities including Franklin Templeton and Apollo.
The scope of issuers or asset classes targeted for initial rollout, and the timeline for broader availability, remain unspecified. Whether additional network partners will be announced alongside Aptos is not yet disclosed.
