Securitize has moved some of the largest stocks on Wall Street onchain, launching a regulated tokenized-equities platform on Solana that offers 1:1 tokenized exposure to 12 major U.S.-listed companies. The move places the ownership layer of conventional equities on blockchain rails, a notable step in the broader tokenization of real-world assets, in which traditional financial instruments are issued and transferred as onchain tokens.

The initial lineup covers Apple, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Google, Tesla, Meta, Amazon, Netflix, Circle, SPCX, Strategy and Palantir, with USDC used for settlement. Each token represents one underlying share and carries the dividend and voting entitlements attached to it, and trading is planned to expand toward around-the-clock availability — a departure from the fixed daytime sessions that govern traditional U.S. equity exchanges.

Securitize announced the launch in a post on X on October 8, 2026:

12 Major U.S. Stocks Move Onto Solana

Securitize Stocks, the platform's tokenized share offering, will initially be sold through the company's registered broker-dealer platform, which provides eligible investors in the United States, the European Union and other approved jurisdictions with access to major U.S. stocks as tokens.

Each Securitize Stock corresponds to an actual underlying share, rather than serving as a product that simply tracks a stock's market value. The tokens are structured as security entitlements under UCC Article 8, the portion of the Uniform Commercial Code that governs securities held through intermediaries and the same legal foundation used for custody at traditional brokerages. That framework maintains the economic rights of the underlying securities. Those rights may include the ability to receive dividends and to vote on the underlying stock, where the shares carry voting rights. The shares used to create the tokens will also not be locked up, distinguishing the model from structures in which backing assets sit immobilized in reserve.

Token Holders Could Convert Into Direct Shares

Securitize is issuing the instruments as "Convertible Entitlement Tokens," or CET. Under the structure, eligible investors may subsequently propose converting their tokens into securities directly with the issuing company's transfer agent — the regulated record-keeper that maintains a public company's official shareholder register, so a completed conversion would move a position out of token form and onto the company's direct share records.

The design inserts an intermediate layer between the traditional tokenization market and a model in which public companies can sell their own tokens straight on blockchain infrastructure.

Solana Handles Trading While USDC Settles Transactions

Solana, a high-throughput network widely used for tokenized assets and decentralized finance applications, was selected as the network for the launch, with USDC — a U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoin — serving as the settlement currency. Liquidity will initially be provided by Securitize's Solana-based PropAMM, with Jump Trading serving as market maker to support execution and price discovery.

Trading begins during extended market hours, with plans to open the market for around-the-clock sessions. Beyond the initial trading phase, Securitize expects tokenized stocks to gain further onchain applications over time, including use in lending and collateral markets such as Aave, one of the largest decentralized lending protocols.

Ripple Prime is supporting the launch and will examine how to incorporate the assets into its institutional platform.

NYSE and OKXICE Target 24/7 Tokenized Stock Trading

Distribution could extend beyond Securitize's own platform. The company anticipates that its tokenized equities will be put up for approval and made available on the NYSE's next digital trading venue, should that venue be officially launched and regulated.

Securitize Stocks will also trade on the OKXICE Tokenized Securities Venue, an initiative that will utilize OKX's blockchain technology and adapt it to Intercontinental Exchange's institutional market network. That venue is being built to enable continuous trading, instant settlement and self-custody for eligible users.

Taken together, the infrastructure creates an integrated marketplace for tokenized equities, combining regulated brokerage, blockchain settlement, market making and traditional shareholder rights. The markers to watch from here are whether the NYSE's digital venue formally launches and secures regulatory approval, how quickly the planned around-the-clock sessions come online, and whether the tokens begin appearing in lending and collateral markets as outlined.
