Securitize Launches Tokenized US Stocks on Solana, Expanding Blockchain Equity Trading
Securitize has announced the launch of tokenized US stocks on the Solana blockchain, marking a significant step in the integration of traditional equities with blockchain technology. The new product, named Securitize Stocks, will allow trading of major US equities, including AAPL, MSFT, and TSLA, with each token backed one-for-one by the underlying shares.
The trading will be conducted through Securitize’s registered broker-dealer, with transactions settled in USDC. These tokenized equities are structured as security entitlements under UCC Article 8, providing holders with rights such as dividends and voting rights for eligible classes of shares. Additionally, through partnerships with transfer agents, these entitlements can be converted into direct share ownership where applicable.
The launch connects tokenized equities to regulated market structures, with Securitize Stocks expected to trade on the New York Stock Exchange’s upcoming 24/7 digital trading venue, pending regulatory requirements. They will also be available on the OKXICE Tokenized Securities Venue, which combines blockchain technology with institutional connectivity.
Securitize has designed these stocks to align with SEC guidance on tokenized securities, allowing for secondary-market trading in a regulated manner. Initially, trading will be available during extended hours, with plans to expand to 24/7 availability. Market-making and liquidity will be supported by Jump Trading, while firms like Ripple Prime and Aave are exploring institutional applications for these tokenized equities.
