Securitize has launched tokenized U.S. stock trading on Solana, creating one of the most direct bridges yet between major equities and blockchain-based markets. The initial product covers Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Alphabet, Tesla, Meta, Amazon and Netflix, alongside Circle, Strategy and Palantir; Securitize also indicated that SpaceX may be added.
Each token is backed 1:1 by underlying shares held through Securitize Markets' regulated brokerage infrastructure. The securities are offered as Convertible Entitlement Tokens, or CETs, with eligible holders receiving shareholder rights, dividend entitlements and corporate-action benefits. Trading launches on Solana and settles in USDC, initially during extended U.S. market hours, with plans to expand toward 24/7 access.
Securitize CEO Carlos Domingo said the goal is not merely a price-tracking token, but "to bring the actual ownership experience onchain." The firm tapped Jump Trading and Jupiter for liquidity and access. RQD will provide clearing, custody and settlement infrastructure, while Ripple Prime plans to explore institutional applications tied to the offering.
The launch follows tokenized stocks surpassing $3 billion in onchain value, with Securitize accounting for much of the recent growth. Securitize expects the assets to eventually become available on the New York Stock Exchange's planned digital trading platform and the proposed OKX-ICE Tokenized Securities Venue, subject to regulatory approval. The move comes after the SEC introduced an innovation exemption intended to create a pathway for blockchain-based securities venues. Securitize had previously become the first company to debut shares both onchain and on the NYSE when it launched its SECZ shares on Solana and Avalanche.
