Securitize launches tokenized Apple, Nvidia, and Tesla stocks on Solana

Launch Overview

Securitize has launched a platform to sell blockchain versions of top US stocks, backed by shares at a regulated brokerage. The platform, Securitize Stocks, offers tokens backed 1:1 by shares of companies like Apple, Nvidia, and Tesla, giving holders economic benefits of owning the stock, including dividends and voting rights.

Supported Equities

The launch lineup covers 12 equities, including AAPL, MSFT, NVDA, GOOG, TSLA, META, AMZN, NFLX, CRCL, SPCX, STR, and PLTR.

Trading and Settlement

Trading kicks off on Securitize's existing Solana-based PropAMM. Trades settle in USDC, the dollar-pegged stablecoin, rather than through the traditional settlement pipes Wall Street uses.

Liquidity and Clearing

Jump Trading is providing liquidity, while RQD handles clearing, custody, and settlement. Access is gated, with only eligible investors in the US and EU able to onboard and clear KYC and AML checks through Securitize's broker-dealer platform.

Future Plans

Securitize is eyeing the NYSE's planned 24/7 digital trading platform as a future home for these tokens.
