Securitize will put 12 U.S. stocks including Apple and NVIDIA on the Solana blockchain and plans to expand to the New York Stock Exchange digital platform

Tokenization company Securitize announced today that it will bring 12 U.S. stocks, including Apple, NVIDIA, Tesla, and Microsoft, to the Solana blockchain, launching a new product called "Securitize Stocks." The first batch of covered companies includes Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, Netflix, Circle, Strategy, and Palantir.

Each stock token is backed 1:1 by actual shares, structurally retaining applicable shareholder rights such as dividends and voting rights, but representing securities interests rather than direct ownership on the company’s shareholder register; once tokenization is adopted by the issuer, it may provide a conversion channel. Initially, the product will be traded on Securitize's existing Solana platform, with liquidity provided by Jump Trading, settled in USDC stablecoin, and is expected to also launch on the NYSE's planned 24/7 digital trading platform and the upcoming OKXICE tokenized securities venue, which is a joint venture between the NYSE's parent company Intercontinental Exchange and OKX, both of which must meet listing and regulatory requirements.
