Securitize Puts U.S. Stocks Onchain Through Solana

Securitize launched Securitize Stocks on Oct. 8, bringing 12 U.S. equities to Solana as security entitlements backed one-for-one by the underlying shares. The offering includes Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Alphabet, Tesla, Meta, Amazon, Netflix, MicroStrategy and Palantir.

Trading is available through Securitize’s registered broker-dealer platform, with transactions settling in USDC, a cryptocurrency designed to track the U.S. dollar. Eligible investors in the United States, the European Union and other permitted jurisdictions can apply for access. Customers must complete onboarding and pass know-your-customer and anti-money-laundering checks, with availability subject to local rules.

The tokens are structured as security entitlements under Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code. Each token represents an interest backed by a corresponding share, rather than a synthetic or derivative product that only tracks a stock’s price. Holders can receive economic benefits such as dividends and, where applicable, voting rights.

Where available, holders can convert the tokens into direct ownership recorded by the underlying company’s transfer agent. The shares backing the tokens will not be lent out. Trading initially will be available during extended hours, with 24-hour, seven-day-a-week access planned for a later date.

Jump Trading will provide market-making services on Securitize’s Solana PropAMM, a venue for trading liquidity and price discovery. Ripple Prime plans to support the launch. Aave founder Stani Kulechov has identified potential uses for the tokens in lending and collateral markets.

Securitize Stocks are expected to become available on a 24/7 digital venue being developed by the New York Stock Exchange and on the OKX-ICE Tokenized Securities Venue. Neither venue has launched, and any future listing would require regulatory approval and venue review.

Securitize described the offering as consistent with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission guidance on tokenized securities. Secondary trading takes place through Securitize’s broker-dealer rather than through an exemption from securities registration. The company reported about $5 billion in assets under management as of September 2026.

The launch follows Coinbase’s introduction of tokenized stocks on Base and the SEC’s grant of an Innovation Exemption for tokenized stock trading.
