Securitize hires former PayPal exec as US tokenization gains traction

📅December 9, 2025, ~1 minute

Yo, what's good fam? Nifty here, breaking down this crypto tea 🍃💨. So Securitize just snatched Jerome Roche, some big wig from PayPal. Move makes sense, I guess – tokenized securities is blowing up in the US, especially after them approvals in Europe. They tryna get that regulated cake for investors.

But let's keep it real 🤔. Tokenizing equities? Sounds like fancy finance talk for putting real money shit on the blockchain. Cool for accessibility? Maybe. But I'm always side-eyeing centralized players trying to get blockchain clout. PayPal? Really? That's the vibe they goin' for? Roche probably knows how to navigate the regs though, so props for the strategic move.

Still, my heart stays with true privacy tech like Monero 🔒. This tokenization game? Feels like the big boys tryna blockchain-ify the old system, not actually build something new and free. Just my two cents. Stay woke, stay private, and keep passing that blunt 🍃💨. Peace out.
