According to CoinMeta, Securitize and Socios.com have reached a collaboration to launch regulated tokenized equity products representing minority stakes in professional sports teams. These products will be operated under the Socios Equity Token brand, leveraging Socios.com's sports relationships and fan networks, as well as Securitize's regulated securities infrastructure in the United States and Europe. The initiative aims to provide qualified fans and institutional investors with access to economic opportunities and alternative assets. The global market for professional sports teams is estimated at $500 billion, yet most of the equity remains private, making it difficult for external investors to enter. Carlos Domingo, the CEO of Securitize, stated that professional sports teams represent an important asset class, and the regulated infrastructure provided by Securitize can offer teams and owners new ways to issue and manage equity while protecting investors' rights.
