Securitize launches tokenized stocks on Solana

tokenized stocks — Digital asset securities firm Securitize has launched a platform for tokenized U.S. stocks on the Solana blockchain, starting with major companies like Apple and Nvidia.

The new offering provides 1:1 tokenized representations of real shares, with dividends distributed to token holders and settlement handled in the USDC stablecoin. This initiative aims to bridge traditional equity markets with digital asset infrastructure, offering a blockchain-native way to hold and transfer ownership of public company stock.

Securitize’s move marks a significant step in the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA), leveraging Solana’s high-throughput network for potential efficiency gains over traditional settlement systems. The firm, which is a registered transfer agent with the SEC, is positioning its platform to meet regulatory standards for securities.

The launch expands the options for crypto-native investors seeking exposure to traditional equities without leaving the blockchain ecosystem. It also represents a competitive entry into the growing RWA sector, where other firms are tokenizing assets like treasury bonds and real estate.
