Securitize launches tokenized US stocks on Solana, venues pending
Securitize launched 'Securitize Stocks' on 8 October 2026, offering 1:1-backed tokenized US equities on Solana. NYSE and OKXICE access and 24/7 trading are still planned and need approval.
Securitize, Inc. (NYSE: SECZ) launched Securitize Stocks on 8 October 2026, giving eligible investors tokenized US equities on Solana. Per the company, trading is initially available in extended hours through Securitize's registered broker-dealer. The NYSE and OKXICE venues are not yet live, and 24/7 trading is only planned.
Securitize describes itself as "the leading platform for tokenized assets," a self-description we have not verified. Its PRNewswire release (09:00 AM ET) is headlined "Securitize Launches Global Onchain Trading of U.S. Stocks with Security Entitlements." The initial offering covers 12 US stocks. Crypto Briefing names Apple, Nvidia, Microsoft, Tesla and Amazon among them. Crypto Briefing's article (8 October 2026, 12:59 UTC) matches the release, so it is a secondary account, not independent confirmation.
What the tokens are
Each token is backed one-for-one by an underlying share. Per the company, each token is a security entitlement under UCC Article 8; Stock Titan's summary distinguishes this from registered share ownership.
Securitize says investors keep applicable economic and ownership-related rights, including dividends and voting rights where the underlying shares provide them. It also says the backing shares will not be lent out. Per Stock Titan's summary, conversion into registered shares is available only when an issuer adopts issuer-sponsored tokenization.
What is available at launch (per the company)
- Trading on Solana through Securitize's registered broker-dealer.
- Settlement in USDC.
- Extended-hours availability.
- Access for eligible investors in permitted jurisdictions, subject to onboarding, KYC/AML checks and eligibility rules.
Per Crypto Briefing's report of the announcement, Jump Trading will provide market-making and liquidity through Securitize's Solana PropAMM.
What is only planned
Securitize expects to expand to the upcoming NYSE digital trading venue and the OKXICE Tokenized Securities Venue. Both steps are subject to regulatory and operational requirements. Stock Titan's summary says neither venue has launched, approval and venue review are pending, and trading there may not occur.
Securitize also plans to move toward 24/7 availability. Stock Titan's summary ties that to the OKXICE venue and says it is subject to venue launch and regulatory and operational requirements.
Ripple Prime and Aave are described as "exploring" institutional trading, lending and collateral uses. That is not a confirmed integration. Securitize describes lending and collateral as utility the tokens are designed to support over time.
Context and caveats
Securitize says the structure is designed to operate within the evolving US regulatory framework for tokenized securities, and says it allows regulated secondary-market trading without relying on exemptions. These are company claims and we have not verified them independently.
Eligibility and KYC requirements also limit who can trade. The sources reviewed give no figures for tokens issued, trading volumes or fees.
For context, as of 14:02 UTC on 8 October, Solana was priced at $112.26 with a market cap of $66.09 billion; the launch does not by itself imply any effect on these figures. Solana's DeFi TVL was $6.38 billion, second behind Ethereum at $51.78 billion. USDC, the settlement asset, had a supply of $73.71 billion, or 23.5% of the $313.80 billion total stablecoin supply.
