Securitize launches tokenized US stocks on Solana

Introduction

Securitize has launched a platform for trading tokenized US stocks on Solana, offering investors 1:1-backed security entitlements to shares in prominent companies including Apple, Nvidia, Microsoft, Tesla, and Amazon.

Key Features

The platform differs from products that simply provide economic exposure to stock prices because each token is backed by an underlying share and represents a security entitlement under UCC Article 8. Investors retain applicable economic and ownership-related rights, including dividends and voting rights where the underlying shares provide them.

Expansion Plans

The stocks are expected to expand to the upcoming NYSE digital trading venue and OKXICE Tokenized Securities Venue, subject to regulatory and operational requirements. Securitize said the structure is designed to operate within the evolving U.S. regulatory framework for tokenized securities and allow regulated secondary-market trading without relying on exemptions.

Market Support

Trading will initially be available during extended hours, with Securitize planning to move toward 24/7 availability. Jump Trading will provide market-making and liquidity through Securitize’s Solana PropAMM, while Ripple Prime and Aave are among the firms exploring institutional trading, lending, and collateral applications for the tokenized equities.
