At 13:00 UTC on October 8, 2026, Securitize announced the launch of 12 security entitlements to U.S. stocks on Solana. Trading is live on the company’s registered broker-dealer platform, with settlement in $USDC and access subject to onboarding, identity checks, jurisdiction and securities law.
The initial set covers Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Alphabet, Tesla, Meta, Amazon, Netflix, Circle, SpaceX, Strategy and Palantir. Securitize says each token is backed one for one by an underlying share. The product is available to eligible investors in the United States, the European Union and other permitted jurisdictions.
What investors hold
Securitize Stocks use a convertible entitlement token structure rather than a synthetic price tracker. Each token represents a security entitlement under UCC Article 8. Securitize says the structure preserves applicable economic benefits, including dividends and voting rights when the underlying share class carries them.
That structure still differs from direct registration as a shareholder. The product disclosure says holders are not registered shareholders of the underlying issuer unless they convert. It also says the companies behind the underlying securities have not sponsored or endorsed the tokens.
Securitize describes the conversion path as a bridge to issuer-sponsored tokenization. Where conversion is available, an investor can exchange the entitlement for actual shares recorded on the issuer’s register through Securitize’s transfer-agent partnerships. Availability therefore depends on the particular stock and the supporting infrastructure.
The backing shares sit in segregated accounts. Securitize says those shares will not be lent. Its product page states that dividends pass through net of applicable withholding, while eligible holders receive a voice in shareholder votes. These provisions matter because they distinguish the instrument from a token that only follows a stock’s price.
Securitize Markets, the entity offering the stocks, is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as a broker-dealer and is a member of FINRA and SIPC. The disclosure also says the entitlements are offered only to eligible investors in permitted jurisdictions after onboarding and identity verification. Broker-dealer registration governs the intermediary. It does not turn the token into an unrestricted bearer asset or remove investment risk.
The issuer warns that $USDC is not legal tender or a bank deposit. It also says $USDC does not receive FDIC or SIPC protection. Investors therefore face two distinct layers: the security entitlement and the settlement asset used to buy it. The token’s shareholder benefits do not extend securities-account protections to the stablecoin balance used for settlement.
The platform requires a verified Securitize account and an approved Solana wallet. Investors buy with $USDC and can hold the tokens in their own approved wallet. Trading starts beyond standard U.S. market hours. The product page currently describes the schedule as 24/5, with 24/7 trading planned rather than available at launch.
Securitize specifically warns that extended-hours sessions can have greater price volatility, lower liquidity, wider bid and ask spreads, and less market visibility. Those conditions matter when an on-chain venue trades while the primary market for the underlying stock is closed. A continuous token market still needs a reliable reference price and enough inventory for the market maker to quote around that reference.
How trading works
At launch, Securitize Stocks trade through the existing Solana PropAMM operated with Jump Trading. Jump is the market maker, supporting liquidity, price discovery and execution. Access remains permissioned through Securitize’s broker-dealer controls even though the assets settle on a public blockchain.
The distinction is practical for DeFi users. A token can sit in a self-custodied wallet, but the holder still needs an approved wallet and must remain eligible under the platform’s rules. A wallet address alone is therefore insufficient for access, and self-custody does not remove the broker’s onboarding or jurisdiction checks. Transfers and trading do not have the permissionless reach of ordinary Solana tokens. The stock entitlement adds an off-chain claim, broker-dealer oversight and transfer restrictions to the on-chain asset.
Securitize says the tokens are intended to support lending and collateral markets over time, including supported markets such as Aave. No such integration was announced as live. For lending protocols, listing one of these assets would require more than accepting a Solana token account. Operators would need to account for eligibility, transfer controls, corporate actions, market hours, price feeds and the legal status of the entitlement.
Ripple Prime plans to support the launch and explore using the assets in its institutional trading system. Securitize also expects the same stocks to become eligible for trading on the planned OKXICE Tokenized Securities Venue. That venue is intended to combine OKX technology with Intercontinental Exchange’s regulatory and institutional infrastructure.
What comes next
A separate route may come through the New York Stock Exchange. Securitize says its stocks are expected to trade on a new 24/7 digital venue under development by NYSE. That connection is subject to the venue launching and to regulatory and operational requirements, so it is not part of the current product.
The launch puts the immediate user proposition in clear terms: approved investors can buy tokenized U.S. equities with $USDC, receive specified shareholder benefits and withdraw the assets to an approved Solana wallet. The limits are equally clear. Eligibility checks remain, extended-hours risks remain, and direct share ownership requires a conversion that is only available where supported.
The next milestone is the move from extended-hours trading to 24/7 availability. Securitize has not given a date for that change, the NYSE venue or the OKXICE venue. Until those venues launch, trading depends on Securitize’s broker-dealer platform and its Solana liquidity arrangement with Jump.
