Securitize Puts Apple, Nvidia and Ten More Stocks Onchain on Solana
Securitize has put a dozen of America's biggest stocks onchain — and this time the tokens come with actual shareholder rights.
Real shares, not price trackers
Every Securitize Stock is backed one-to-one by a real share held at the firm's regulated brokerage, Securitize Markets. Holders get applicable dividends, voting rights and corporate-action entitlements. The lineup opens with Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Alphabet, Tesla, Meta, Amazon, Netflix, Palantir, Circle and Strategy, with SpaceX also expected in the first batch.
That is the whole difference. Plenty of offshore tokenized-equity products simply mimic a stock's price without giving you any claim on the share underneath. Securitize's version is a security entitlement under the Uniform Commercial Code, which makes it a legal distinction rather than a marketing one.
How it actually trades
Trading goes live on Solana first, settled in USDC, and opens during extended US market hours with a planned shift to 24/7. Liquidity runs through a Solana-based automated market maker, with Jump Trading serving as market maker.
Ripple Prime and Aave are named as partners as the tokens get wired into onchain lending and collateral markets. Further out, Securitize expects the assets to trade on tokenized-securities venues being built by the New York Stock Exchange and OKX-ICE, though neither has set a launch date.
Why a DeFi user should care
Tokenized stocks have now crossed $3 billion in onchain value, and Securitize has driven much of the recent capital growth. Broader tokenized real-world assets excluding stablecoins reached $38.88 billion, up from $25.36 billion a year earlier.
The real unlock here is not access to Apple. It is collateral. A token carrying a genuine equity claim can be lent against and composed into other protocols; a synthetic price tracker cannot credibly support that. Securitize's own shares jumped more than 10% on the announcement, the second sharp rally for the stock that week.
