Securitize launches tokenized U.S. stocks on Solana with security entitlements

Securitize said it launched Securitize Stocks, putting 1:1-backed security entitlements to a dozen widely held U.S. equities on Solana for eligible investors through the company's registered broker-dealer.

What Securitize announced

On Oct. 8, Securitize, Inc. (NYSE: SECZ) said it launched Securitize Stocks. The initial lineup is security entitlements to shares of AAPL, MSFT, NVDA, GOOG, TSLA, META, AMZN, NFLX, CRCL, SPCX, MSTR, and PLTR. Trading starts on Solana through Securitize's registered broker-dealer platform, with transactions settling in USDC.

Securitize said each token is backed one-for-one by an underlying share and represents a security entitlement under UCC Article 8, preserving applicable rights and economic benefits including dividends and, where the underlying class carries them, voting rights. Shares backing the tokens will not be lent out. The company described a convertible entitlement token structure that can move investors to transfer-agent ownership if an issuer adopts issuer-sponsored tokenization.

At launch, Securitize Stocks trade on Securitize's Solana PropAMM, with Jump Trading serving as market maker. Access remains subject to onboarding, KYC/AML checks, jurisdictional eligibility, and applicable securities laws. Trading begins during extended hours, with plans to move toward 24/7 availability.

Expected venues and market-structure partners

Securitize said the tokens are also expected to trade on the New York Stock Exchange's planned 24/7 digital trading venue and on the OKXICE Tokenized Securities Venue, a joint effort of OKX and Intercontinental Exchange, subject to those venues launching and meeting regulatory and operational requirements. The release includes supporting quotes from OKXICE Co-Chair Andrew M. Cuomo, Solana Foundation's Nick Ducoff, Jump, Ripple Prime President Noel Kimmel, Aave founder Stani Kulechov, and RQD* CEO Michael Sanocki on clearing, custody, settlement, and institutional use.

In its About blurb, Securitize said it had approximately $5 billion in AUM as of September 2026 and is the only company it identifies as operating regulated digital-securities infrastructure in both the U.S. and the EU.

How CoinDesk confirms the launch

CoinDesk, reporting the same day, confirmed the 12-name launch, including Apple, Nvidia, Tesla, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, Netflix, Circle, Strategy, and Palantir. The outlet said trading starts on Securitize's Solana PropAMM with Jump Trading providing liquidity, RQD supporting clearing, custody, and settlement, and USDC settlement. CoinDesk also said NYSE digital-venue and OKXICE trading remain planned and subject to launch and regulatory requirements, and it framed the move against broader SEC tokenized-securities and ICE-OKX venue work.

What readers should separate

The company release states the product launch, the 12 ticker entitlements, Solana/USDC settlement, broker-dealer trading, UCC Article 8 entitlement structure, Jump market-making, eligibility limits, and the conditional NYSE and OKXICE paths. CoinDesk independently confirms the launch size, named mega-caps, PropAMM/Jump/RQD/USDC mechanics, and the conditional venue path. Venue trading on NYSE or OKXICE is expected, not live. Securitize did not publish token prices, volumes, or a live trade count in the Oct. 8 release.
