Securitize launches 12 tokenized stocks on Solana

Securitize launched tokenized claims on 12 U.S. stocks, including Apple, Nvidia and Tesla, on Solana on Oct. 8, adding a route through a registered broker-dealer as tokenized equities move toward established market infrastructure. The company’s launch announcement says trading starts on its platform, with transactions settling in USDC and Jump Trading acting as market maker.

The lineup also includes Microsoft, Alphabet, Meta, Amazon, Netflix, Circle, SpaceX, Strategy and Palantir. The tokens are structured as security entitlements backed one for one by shares, rather than instruments designed only to track a stock’s price. Securitize says the structure carries applicable economic benefits, including dividends and, where relevant, voting rights. Holders are not registered shareholders of the companies unless they convert their entitlements; the underlying issuers have not sponsored or endorsed the tokens.

What does Securitize add to Solana’s existing stock tokens?

Tokenized stocks were already available on Solana: Kraken and Backed launched xStocks in 2025, initially for eligible customers in select non-U.S. markets. The new offer’s distinction is its legal and trading structure. Securitize says its tokens represent security entitlements under UCC Article 8 and trade through its registered broker-dealer, with holders able to convert to direct ownership on an issuer’s books where available.

That design may offer a different claim from products focused on price exposure, but it does not make each token equivalent to a share registered directly in the company’s shareholder records. Conversion depends on availability, and access to Securitize Stocks is restricted by eligibility, jurisdiction, onboarding and KYC/AML checks. Shares backing the tokens will not be lent out, according to the company. Securitize says it may support lending and collateral use over time, including through Aave, but that is a planned extension rather than a feature established by the launch.

When could the tokens reach NYSE and OKXICE venues?

Those routes are prospective. Securitize says the tokens are expected to trade on the NYSE’s planned 24/7 digital venue and on the OKXICE Tokenized Securities Venue, but both venues have yet to launch. Trading there depends on regulatory approval, venue review and operational requirements, and Securitize’s announcement says it may not occur. The NYSE connection follows a March memorandum of understanding under which the exchange and Securitize agreed to work on tokenized securities infrastructure.

Until then, the initial market runs on Securitize’s existing Solana PropAMM. Trading will begin during extended hours, with plans to move toward round-the-clock availability. Jump Trading is set to support liquidity and price discovery; RQD will support clearing, custody and settlement infrastructure. Those arrangements connect the token market to securities-market services, but the announcement gives no launch trading volumes or liquidity benchmarks.

What should readers watch after the launch?

The key tests are whether the tokens attract sustained trading and whether the market can maintain liquidity and orderly prices outside regular stock-market hours. Securitize’s plans for 24/7 access and further onchain utility depend on infrastructure and integrations developing beyond the initial launch. For now, the more immediate signals are the product’s actual trading hours, access rules and conversion availability, followed by progress toward the NYSE and OKXICE venues. CoinDesk’s report on the launch also places the move alongside a broader push by financial firms to bring stock trading onto blockchain networks.
