Injective announced that Injective Institutional Services is now officially registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as a transfer agent. This milestone makes Injective the first Layer-1 blockchain to pull this off, shifting from just building tokenization technology to actually providing the regulated infrastructure the market needs.
What a “Transfer Agent” does
A transfer agent maintains the authoritative record of who owns a security: tracking changes in ownership, processing transfers, and determining who is entitled to distributions and voting rights.
In traditional markets, this function sits with specialized institutions like Computershare. For instance, Injective’s registration enables this core market function to operate directly onchain, with the token itself becoming part of the official recordkeeping system.
How Injective’s tokenization stack works
The SEC registration completes a comprehensive tokenization infrastructure Injective has been building since 2025.
The whole ecosystem basically comes down to three main pieces:
- Injective’s purpose-built blockchain with sub-second settlement
- Injective Mint: a compliance-ready issuance platform for institutions
- The newly registered transfer agent capability
Injective Mint allows institutions to create and manage tokenized assets without writing custom code, featuring built-in controls for jurisdictional screening, holder restrictions, and asset freezing. Furthermore, everything issued there connects right into the Injective decentralized finance ecosystem, so trading and lending are ready to go from day one.
A live tokenization record
The registration formalizes infrastructure that is already processing real assets. Since 2025, institutions including Nomura’s Laser Digital, BlackRock, and Hamilton Lane have launched tokenized funds on Injective.
Markets for digital asset treasuries, equities, and pre-initial public offering shares of SpaceX and OpenAI are also live on the network.
Things are heating up with POSCO International and LG CNS jumping in for a pilot to tokenize trade receivables back in July 2026. This means Injective now covers four distinct asset classes all on one chain: institutional funds, public equities, private company shares, and enterprise receivables.
Injective token price
As for the INJ token price, it surged over 9 percent following the SEC registration news, trading at $4,37 at the time of writing, with a solid performance in real network activity.
On the other hand, the tokenized Real-World Asset market capitalization by chain shows Injective standing among the leading networks with a market cap of $1.1B. This marks another strong signal of Injective’s growing role in the current tokenized asset economy.
