Thursday was the first day that eligible investors in the US, the EU, and other approved areas could buy tokenized stocks from Securitize.
At launch, Apple and Nvidia are two of the twelve tokens available for trading on Solana. Each token is backed by a real share.
Securitize Stocks is the name of the product. Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Alphabet, Tesla, Meta, Amazon, Netflix, Circle, SpaceX, Strategy, and Palantir are the first 12 companies.
USDC is used to settle trades. Jump Trading acts as a market maker on Securitize’s current Solana PropAMM, where tokens are traded. Trading is available during extended hours in the US, but it is planned to become available 24/7.
The tokens are sold by Securitize Europe Brokerage and Markets, S.A. in the EU and by FINRA member Securitize Markets, LLC in the US.
Each token is a security entitlement under Article 8 of the UCC. People who own these tokens get dividends and voting rights if their class of shares gives them those rights, but they are not registered shareholders of the issuer unless they convert them.
A CET structure, which stands for convertible entitlement token, allows for conversion. When a business uses issuer-sponsored tokenization, holders can use Securitize’s transfer agent partners to trade their rights for shares on the company’s register.
Securitize said that none of the 12 issuers had endorsed or sponsored the product. The shares that the tokens are based on won’t be lent out.
“Tokenized stocks should give investors more than a price on a wrapper that tracks a stock and is only offered offshore,” said Securitize chairman and CEO Carlos Domingo.
Securitize thinks that the tokens will also be able to be traded on the New York Stock Exchange’s planned digital market that will be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Besides that, they should be put on the OKXICE Tokenized Securities Venue, which is a partnership between OKX and Intercontinental Exchange, which owns NYSE.
Trading there is subject to regulatory approval and venue review and “may not occur,” Securitize said.
This week, OKXICE put in an application to the SEC to offer trading in tokenized stocks under the new rules.
Cryptopolitan reported that on September 17, the SEC’s five-year, conditional Innovation Exemption meant that Tokenized Securities Venues did not have to register as exchanges. Tokens backed by real shares are the only ones that can get relief.
Securitize said that conducting secondary trading through its own broker-dealer does not need any kind of exemption. More than $3 billion worth of tokenized stocks are on the blockchain, and Securitize is a big reason for the recent growth.
Securitize’s own SECZ shares have traded on Solana since the company listed on the NYSE in July.
Cryptopolitan reported that Securitize first talked about its plans for regulated on-chain shares in December 2025. As of September 2026, the company said it had about $5 billion in assets under management.
Ripple Prime plans to provide support with the launch. RQD supports clearing, custody, and settlement.
