Securitize launches tokenized U.S. stocks on Solana|  NFTNex

Securitize launched tokenized U.S. stocks on Solana, realizing the first implementation of securities rights on the chain.

Securitize recently officially launched tokenized U.S. stock products on the Solana blockchain. This is the first time that chain-linked securities interests in 12 major U.S. stocks have been brought to the market through a registered broker-dealer platform. The product, called "Securitize Stocks", marks an important step in the real-world asset (RWA) tokenization movement, combining mature securities regulations with blockchain native settlement mechanisms.

Announcement core content analysis

Securitize announced the launch of the first batch of "Securitize Stocks" products on October 8, 2026, with the launch platform Solana. The initial offering covers securities interests in 12 designated U.S. stocks, including: AAPL (Apple), MSFT (Microsoft), NVDA (NVIDIA), GOOG (Google), TSLA (Tesla), META (Meta Platforms), AMZN (Amazon), NFLX (Netflix), CRCL, SPCX, MSTR and PLTR.

Each token is backed by underlying stocks in a 1:1 ratio and represents securities interests in accordance with Title 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), including corresponding dividends and voting rights. Eligible investors can access the product in the United States, the European Union and other licensed jurisdictions through Securitize's registered broker-dealer channels. Transactions are settled in USDC and will be open initially only during extended trading hours.

Carlos Domingo, CEO of Securitize, positioned this mission as "equal ownership":

"Our opportunity lies in bringing stocks onto the chain without sacrificing the ownership, investor protection and market infrastructure that allow U.S. capital markets to function efficiently." -- Carlos Domingo, CEO of Securitize

It is important to note that, according to independent reports, the token holder is not directly recorded in the issuer's register of shareholders, and the relevant listed company has not sponsored or endorsed this initial offering. Although the digital ownership layer is real, it operates through Securitize's equity structure rather than establishing a direct relationship with the issuer.

Why Solana and its regulatory framework advantages

This release builds on Securitize's growing Solana ecosystem. Previously, the company had tokenized its own SECZ shares on Solana. Solana Network is actively positioning itself as a hub for institutional-level RWA activities, including partnering with SBI to promote the development of financial markets on the Japanese chain.

Nick Ducoff of the Solana Foundation provides a direct description of the web vision at the moment:

"Solana aims to be the financial infrastructure for 5.5 billion Internet users. Tokenized stocks provide global investors with access to investments they might not have been able to participate in before, and have the ability to scale on an internet scale." -- Nick Ducoff, Solana Foundation

At the time of studying snapshots, SOL was priced at $111.20, up 1.22% in 24 hours, and its market value was approximately $65.5 billion. At the same time, the broader cryptocurrency market fear and greed index recorded 69, indicating that the market was in a risk-appetite environment at the time of launch.

The regulatory background is equally eye-catching. On September 17, 2026, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued an "Innovation Waiver Order" allowing tokenized securities venues to waive exchange-defined restrictions under temporary conditions and trade tokenized NMS shares through authorized AMM (Automatic Market Maker) liquidity pools. The exemption order includes requirements such as symbol and trading volume limits, verification of equivalent shareholder rights, issuer notice and objection rights, auditable public smart contracts, simultaneous trading suspension mechanisms, and public operating disclosures, and is valid for five years after release.

Securitize stated that its current broker-dealer secondary trading does not rely on the above exemption order. The SEC framework applies to future listings of "tokenized securities venues" that will still need to meet additional issuance, listing and regulatory requirements.

Future Outlook

Securitize has stated plans to build a 24/7 trading venue, including potential connections to NYSE digital venues and OKX TSV ICE, but both are subject to issuance, listing, regulatory and operational requirements, and there is no confirmed timetable. Therefore, it is too early to consider these functions as already available.

Readers should also pay attention to updates to geographical access extensions, additional equity code additions in addition to the initial 12 stocks, and any SEC response to requests for comment on the innovation exemption order framework. The combination of UCC Title 8 equity structure and on-chain settlement belongs to a new legal field. How issuers exercise their right of objection under SEC orders will determine whether the tokenized stock infrastructure can be scaled up between more blockchains and brokers. Expansion.
