Securitize has brought major United States (US) stocks onchain. On Wednesday, October 8, 2026, the company launched Securitize Stocks, a set of tokenized equities that trade on Solana and settle in Circle’s stablecoin USDC.
The initial lineup covers 12 names, including major players Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Alphabet, Tesla, Meta, Amazon, Netflix, Circle, SpaceX, Strategy, and Palantir.
Each token is backed one-for-one by an actual share held through Securitize’s regulated brokerage infrastructure.
Unlike synthetic price trackers, these products use a convertible entitlement token structure designed to carry through key ownership benefits.
Trading begins on Securitize’s Solana PropAMM with Jump Trading providing liquidity, and the firm plans to expand access to future venues such as a New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) digital platform and the OKXICE Tokenized Securities Venue.
Who Can Actually Buy These? (Eligibility / Access)
Access remains permissioned. Eligible investors in the United States, the European Union (EU), and other approved jurisdictions can participate after completing onboarding, identity verification, and Know Your Client (KYC)/Anti-Money Laundering (AML) checks.
Securitize Markets operates as a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)-registered broker-dealer and FINRA/SIPC member, while a European entity handles EU access.
Not every retail investor qualifies, and sanctions or jurisdictional restrictions still apply.
In short, the products target compliant participants rather than open public trading.
Do I Really Own the Stock (Dividends, Voting Rights, etc.)?
Yes — the structure aims to deliver real ownership economics. Each token represents a security entitlement under UCC Article 8 and is backed by a segregated underlying share.
Holders receive applicable dividends and, where the share class allows, voting rights and other corporate actions. The shares themselves are not lent out. This approach sets Securitize Stocks apart from purely synthetic products that only mirror price movements without transferring legal claims.
How Do I Buy and Trade Them? (Process, Wallets, Settlement)
Investors first complete Securitize’s onboarding process. Once approved, they can purchase tokens with USDC and hold them in an approved Solana wallet alongside other onchain assets.
Trading occurs through Securitize’s existing PropAMM, where Jump Trading acts as market maker to support liquidity and price discovery.
Settlement happens on Solana in USDC rather than through traditional T+1 or T+2 rails.
The permissioned layer remains in place even though the tokens live on a public blockchain.
What Are the Trading Hours of Securitize Tokenized Stocks and Is It Really 24/7?
At launch, trading runs during extended U.S. market hours rather than round-the-clock.
Securitize has stated a clear intention to move toward 24/7 availability over time.
Extended sessions can bring higher volatility, thinner liquidity, and wider spreads compared with regular hours, so participants should factor those conditions into their approach.
Full 24/7 trading remains a future goal rather than an immediate feature.
What Are the Main Risks of Securitize Tokenized Stocks and How Is This Regulated?
Key risks include extended-hours volatility, potential liquidity gaps, smart-contract or operational risks on Solana, and the usual market risks of holding equities.
Regulatory oversight sits with Securitize’s registered broker-dealer framework in the U.S. and its European counterpart.
Investors must still pass eligibility checks, and the products remain subject to securities laws, sanctions rules, and platform terms.
Custody of the underlying shares occurs through regulated channels, yet onchain holders also face blockchain-related risks that traditional brokerage accounts do not carry.
Securitize’s launch marks another concrete step in the broader push to bring real U.S. equities into onchain markets while preserving core ownership rights.
The combination of 1:1 backing, USDC settlement, and Solana’s speed creates a practical bridge between traditional finance and digital asset infrastructure.
