Securitize Brings Tokenized Apple, Nvidia and Tesla Shares to Solana

Securitize has launched tokenized shares of Apple, Nvidia, Tesla, Microsoft and other major U.S. companies on Solana, bringing traditional equities to a blockchain-based trading platform. The tokens are backed one-for-one by underlying shares and are designed to preserve key shareholder rights.

Trading Begins on Solana

Trading will initially take place through Securitize’s existing Solana-based PropAMM platform. Jump Trading will provide liquidity, while RQD will support clearing, custody and settlement. Transactions are expected to settle in USDC, connecting tokenized stocks with crypto-market infrastructure.

The initial offering includes 12 U.S. stocks. Securitize said each token represents a security entitlement tied to an actual share, rather than direct ownership recorded on a company’s shareholder register. Investors will retain benefits such as dividends and voting rights, while conversion into traditional share ownership could become available if issuers adopt tokenization.

Eligible investors in the U.S., Europe and other permitted markets will initially be able to trade the tokens during extended market hours. Securitize plans to expand access toward 24/7 trading, a core feature of blockchain-based securities markets.

Planned Exchange Expansion

Securitize said the tokenized equities are also expected to reach two planned digital venues:

• The New York Stock Exchange’s proposed 24/7 digital trading platform.
• OKXICE Tokenized Securities Venue, a joint venture between NYSE parent Intercontinental Exchange and crypto exchange OKX.

Those expansions remain conditional on the venues launching and meeting applicable regulatory requirements. The OKX-ICE venture filed this week to introduce tokenized stock trading under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s framework, underscoring growing institutional interest in blockchain-based markets.

Ripple Prime also plans to explore institutional applications for the assets. Potential use cases across the broader market include longer trading hours, faster settlement and the use of tokenized equities as collateral in on-chain lending markets.

Regulatory Context and Market Implications

The launch arrives as the SEC evaluates an “innovation exemption” intended to create a path for new tokenized-securities trading venues built on blockchain rails. That regulatory process could determine how widely products such as Securitize Stocks can be distributed in the United States.

For Solana, the initiative adds a high-profile institutional use case beyond crypto-native assets. The combination of regulated custody, market-making and settlement partners may help test whether public blockchains can support equity trading at scale.

What This Means

Securitize’s launch is a significant step in the competition to place traditional securities on crypto infrastructure. If regulatory approvals and planned venue launches proceed, Solana could become a settlement and trading layer for equities with extended or continuous market access. The immediate impact is more strategic than price-driven: the initiative strengthens Solana’s institutional narrative while making execution, investor protections and regulatory compliance central to future adoption.
