Launch Expands Tokenized Equity Access on Solana

Securitize has begun offering tokenized versions of major U.S. company shares on the Solana blockchain to eligible investors. The platform provides one-for-one backed security entitlements tied to actual shares held in regulated infrastructure, rather than merely tracking prices. Transactions settle in USDC, enabling blockchain-based trading that preserves rights to dividends, voting and other shareholder benefits.

The initial offerings cover Apple, Nvidia, Microsoft, Tesla and Amazon. Securitize’s registered broker-dealer manages the trades. Investors can receive applicable economic and ownership rights directly linked to the underlying holdings, with the potential to convert tokens into direct shares when issuer-sponsored tokenization becomes available.

Trading Starts in Extended Hours, Aims for 24/7 Operations

Trading on the new platform begins during extended U.S. hours for participants in the United States, Europe and other permitted markets. Securitize intends to progress toward continuous 24/7 availability as conditions allow.

Future plans include listing on the NYSE’s proposed digital trading venue and the OKXICE Tokenized Securities Venue. These expansions will require the platforms to launch and meet regulatory standards, with the agreements for tokenized securities development already in place since March.

Institutional Partners Support Liquidity and Clearing

Liquidity provision comes from Jump Trading through Securitize’s Solana PropAMM platform. RQD will handle clearing, custody and settlement. Ripple Prime and Aave are exploring institutional uses, such as trading, lending and collateral applications for the tokenized equities.

The announcement aligns with broader industry discussions around regulatory exemptions for tokenized securities, including work from the Securities and Exchange Commission and the ICE-OKX joint venture.

Stock Gains Near 4% in Premarket Trading

Shares of Securitize rose nearly 4% in premarket trading on the same day the Solana platform launch was announced. This development follows earlier announcements of plans to tokenize shares of eight or 12 U.S. companies on the blockchain.

Securitize continues to refine access for eligible investors while advancing toward broader institutional and venue integrations.
