Securitize Launches Tokenized U.S. Stocks on Solana With USDC Settlement
According to the company's Thursday announcement, the initial offering covers 12 publicly traded companies. Named stocks include Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Tesla, Circle, Strategy, Palantir, and SPCX. Access is available to eligible investors in the United States, the European Union, and other supported jurisdictions, subject to applicable eligibility requirements.
How Securitize's Tokenized Stocks Work
The platform is designed to provide ownership-related rights associated with conventional securities, rather than simply tracking changes in stock prices. Each token represents a security entitlement under Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code.
Securitize says the entitlements are backed by underlying shares at a one-to-one ratio. Eligible holders can receive dividends and exercise voting rights where applicable, allowing them to access corresponding economic benefits associated with traditional stock ownership. The company also states that it does not lend the shares backing its tokenized equity products.
The platform uses a convertible entitlement token structure that can allow eligible holdings to be converted into directly registered shares when the relevant issuers support tokenization. USDC serves as the settlement asset, while Solana provides the blockchain infrastructure for processing transactions.
Planned Trading Venue Integrations
Securitize also outlined plans to expand access through proposed digital securities trading infrastructure connected to established financial market operators. One initiative involves the New York Stock Exchange's proposed round-the-clock digital securities trading venue. The integration is not yet available and remains dependent on regulatory approvals and operational requirements.
The company also anticipates potential access through the proposed OKXICE Tokenized Securities Venue, an initiative involving OKX and Intercontinental Exchange (ICE). ICE operates the New York Stock Exchange, linking the planned venue with an established securities market operator.
In the meantime, Securitize plans to support extended trading hours as it develops infrastructure intended to enable continuous market access. The proposed integrations remain subject to the necessary approvals and operational conditions.
Solana's Role in Tokenized Securities
The launch brings tokenized exposure to American equities onto Solana while combining blockchain-based transactions with securities entitlements backed by underlying shares. The structure described by Securitize includes a one-to-one backing ratio, potential shareholder benefits for eligible investors, and settlement through USDC.
Further expansion through the proposed NYSE and OKXICE venues could broaden trading access if the required regulatory and operational conditions are met. The company has not indicated that those integrations are already live.
