Blockchain-based asset management company Superstate said on Thursday that it has registered its digital transfer agent, Superstate Services LLC, with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), a step aimed at bridging the gap between tokenized assets with existing financial rules.

Transfer agents help issuers manage shareholder registries, process transactions and distribute dividends. As securities increasingly move on the chain, digital transfer agents play a critical role in maintaining compliance and governance. Superstate Services will use blockchain-integrated records to track real-time ownership. A smart contract -driven allotlist will ensure that only approved investors can acquire tokenized shares.

“Through this innovative approach, superstate progresses with security while integrating into the existing regulatory regime,” the company said in a statement.

Superstate’s registration comes after SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce, who leads the agency’s Crypto Task Force, highlighted last month in a statement the importance of transfer agents in the future of tokenized securities.

Superstate, led by CEO Robert Leshner, is one of the most important players in the tokenized asset space offering two tokenized security funds, USTB and USCC with over $ 420 million of assets under management combined.

Originally, Superstate Services will only support its own funds, but the company plans to expand services to other issuers as the Tokenized securities market is growing.
