Vstock Transfer names securities industry veteran Erica Goodstein General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer. October 06, 2026 10:40 ET | Source: Vstock Transfer NEW YORK, Oct. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Vstock Transfer today announced that Erica Goodstein, a veteran securities attorney with over 26 years of experience, has joined the firm as General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer. Erica joins Vstock Transfer after more than a decade as Assistant General Counsel at Equiniti and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC where she served as a lead attorney supporting the company's legal and regulatory functions, advising executive leadership and the board on corporate strategy and risk management. Earlier in her career, she spent nearly 14 years as an attorney at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, handling complex domestic and international commercial litigation and related matters spanning securities, intellectual property, bankruptcy, real estate, and corporate takeover disputes. "Erica's experience speaks for itself and having her lead our legal and compliance function reflects exactly where Vstock Transfer is headed," said Seth Farbman, Chairman and Co-Founder of Vstock Transfer. "Erica joins us at a pivotal moment," said Yoel Goldfeder, CEO of Vstock Transfer. "While her experience will be valuable in our existing services, including SPAC and de SPAC transaction services, proxy solicitation, and annual meeting services for the issuers we serve, Erica's background will also help us expand well beyond core transfer agency work with AI, blockchain and related corporate services. Having someone with her background gives our clients, and prospective clients, real confidence in the governance behind that growth." "What drew me to Vstock Transfer is the momentum," said Goodstein. "The caliber of companies coming to this firm and the scope of services being rolled out reflect a firm that, even after fifteen years, is scaling deliberately. I am looking forward to building on the legal and compliance foundation and roadmap to match that growth." About Vstock Transfer Vstock Transfer is an SEC-registered stock transfer agent providing transfer agency and corporate action services to public companies on Nasdaq, NYSE, and the OTC markets. Services include DWAC and DRS processing, dividend distributions, proxy solicitation, annual meeting support, virtual meeting hosting, as well as SPAC and de-SPAC transaction services.
Bullish and Equiniti form coalition for issuer-backed tokenized stocks. September 26, 2026 Bitcoinist general Positive Bullish and Equiniti have officially launched the Issuer Sponsored Token Coalition, a landmark initiative to establish industry-wide standards for tokenized public securities, with founding participants Alpaca, Apex Fintech Solutions, and DriveWealth already on board. The coalition's formation represents one of the most structured collaborative efforts yet to bring regulated, issuer-backed tokenized stocks into mainstream financial markets, targeting the critical infrastructure layers of issuance, trading, settlement, and custody. Tokenized equities and real-world asset (RWA) tokenization have emerged as among the hottest narratives in crypto heading into 2025, with major financial institutions racing to define operational and compliance frameworks before regulatory clarity fully crystallizes. Bullish, the crypto exchange backed by significant institutional capital, pairs with Equiniti - a leading shareholder services and registrar firm - to bridge the gap between traditional equity markets and blockchain-based securities issuance. For traders and investors following tokenized stock platforms, digital securities regulation, and RWA blockchain projects, this coalition could set the compliance and technical benchmarks that shape the entire sector. The inclusion of DriveWealth and Apex Fintech Solutions points to ambitions that extend to retail investor access, not solely institutional-grade pipelines. Keep a close watch on which public securities receive initial tokenization pilots and whether the coalition engages U.S. SEC or international regulators as formal standards are drafted. Bullish and Equiniti have created the Issuer Sponsored Token Coalition to develop standards for tokenized public securities. Early participants include Alpaca, Apex Fintech Solutions and DriveWealth.
Bullish, Equiniti build tokenized securities model around shareholder records. The planned $4.2 billion acquisition would combine Bullish's digital-asset exchange with Equiniti's transfer-agent infrastructure and shareholder records. By John Kim Published Sep 24, 2026, 4:19 PM EDT Bullish and Equiniti are building an issuer-sponsored tokenization model that connects blockchain-based trading with official shareholder records, combining faster digital settlement with the legal framework used for conventional shares. Under the model, Equiniti's shareholder register remains the legal record of ownership. Blockchain provides a digital representation of the shares and supports automated processing, faster transfers and trading outside conventional business hours. The structure is designed to operate alongside traditional shares, brokers, custodians and existing market infrastructure. Bullish announced Aug. 12 that market participants had traded tokenized BLSH shares on Bullish Exchange, a digital-asset exchange regulated by the Gibraltar Financial Services Commission. The tokens gave holders direct share ownership and the same legal standing as conventional shareholders. The trades settled against a U.S. dollar stablecoin. The exchange operates 24/7 with near-instant settlement, extending access beyond the operating hours of traditional securities markets. The strategy is tied to Bullish's planned acquisition of Equiniti in a transaction valued at approximately $4.2 billion. The deal includes $1.85 billion of assumed debt and about $2.35 billion in Bullish stock. Equiniti serves nearly 3,000 issuer clients, supports 20 million shareholders and processes $500 billion in annual payments. Bullish would contribute its exchange and tokenization infrastructure to the combined business, while Equiniti would provide transfer-agent operations and issuer relationships. "Bullish is assembling the full complement of services required to tokenize equities: the regulated exchange, the tokenization technology, and the transfer agent," Bullish CEO Tom Farley said. Issuer-sponsored tokenization places the issuing company and its transfer agent at the center of the ownership record. That distinguishes the structure from a third-party token designed only to track a stock's price. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2027, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.
Bullish, Alpaca and Apex Fintech form coalition to push issuer-backed tokenized stocks. The group aims to link onchain shares to official shareholder records following the U.S. SEC's innovation exemption for tokenized stock trading. 2 hours ago * Bullish, Equiniti, Alpaca, Apex Fintech Solutions and DriveWealth teamed up to form an industry group focused on issuer-sponsored tokenized securities. Bullish (BLSH), Equiniti, Alpaca, Apex Fintech Solutions and DriveWealth have formed a new industry group focused on building standards for tokenized securities that remain directly tied to the companies that issue them. The Issuer Sponsored Token Coalition, unveiled on Thursday, was convened by CoinDesk parent company Bullish and Equiniti, a shareholder-services and market-infrastructure firm that is being acquired by the crypto platform. The group said they plan to work on technical standards, settlement, custody and ways to move securities between traditional market infrastructure and blockchain networks. Its main focus is issuer-sponsored tokenization, in which a tokenized share would be linked to a company's official shareholder register. That structure is designed to preserve rights such as voting, dividends and participation in corporate actions. The distinction has gained attention as firms roll out products that offer stock exposure without always giving holders direct ownership of the underlying shares. A recent dispute between AMC Entertainment CEO Adam Aron and Robinhood highlighted that issue, centering on whether synthetic or tokenized products may leave investors with economic exposure to a stock but without the same legal rights as registered shareholders. Issuer-sponsored models aim to narrow that gap by tying the token directly to the issuer's records. "The architecture we establish now matters and that is why we are bringing together this group of leading firms to chart the course," said Tom Farley, CEO of Bullish. Alpaca said it plans to contribute to interoperability between traditional securities and onchain markets through its Instant Tokenization Network. "Tokenization creates an opportunity to connect issuers and investors in ways that weren't possible with traditional market infrastructure," said Arush Sehgal, head of digital assets at Alpaca. "Getting it right means preserving shareholder rights and ensuring onchain markets remain connected to the markets they're built on. Apex Fintech Solutions, which provides infrastructure for broker-dealers and other financial firms, said the group could help establish standards that enable tokenized markets to connect with existing systems. The coalition said its work follows last week's U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission exemption allowing limited onchain trading of U.S.-listed equities under certain conditions.
