Securitize announced on October 8, 2026 the launch of Securitize Stocks, tokens that represent U.S. shares held one for one by its broker-dealer. The tokens start on Solana, trade on Securitize’s own registered broker-dealer platform and settle in USDC, according to the company’s press release.

The first list covers security entitlements to shares of AAPL, MSFT, NVDA, GOOG, TSLA, META, AMZN, NFLX, CRCL, SPCX, MSTR and PLTR. Securitize says the tokens are open to eligible investors in the United States, the European Union and other permitted jurisdictions, after onboarding and KYC/AML checks.

What a holder owns

Securitize describes each token as a security entitlement under Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code, backed by one underlying share. The company says holders keep the economic benefits of the share, including dividends, and voting rights where the share class carries them.

That is the distinction the company draws against products that only track a share price. The release also says the shares backing the tokens will not be lent out.

Securitize calls the structure a convertible entitlement token (CET). If a listed company later adopts issuer-sponsored tokenization, the company says holders can convert their entitlements into shares recorded on that company’s register through Securitize’s transfer-agent partners. Until then, the holder’s claim runs through the broker-dealer, not directly against the issuing company.

Where it trades and settles

At launch, trading runs through Securitize’s existing Solana PropAMM, with Jump Trading as market maker. Trading starts in extended hours; Securitize says it plans to move toward 24/7 availability but gives no date.

Settlement is in USDC, Circle’s dollar stablecoin (see its entry in our stablecoin list). For a buyer, that means the cash leg of the trade is a token transfer on Solana rather than a bank payment, so the investor needs USDC on the right network before trading.

The company also expects the tokens to trade on two venues that do not exist yet: the 24/7 digital venue that the New York Stock Exchange is developing (we covered NYSE’s plan in January) and the OKXICE Tokenized Securities Venue, a venture of OKX and Intercontinental Exchange. The release states plainly that neither venue has launched and that trading there depends on regulatory approval and venue review “and may not occur.”

Company statements, not yet track record

Several points in the release are plans rather than live features: 24/7 trading, use of the tokens as collateral in lending markets such as Aave, and inclusion in Ripple Prime’s institutional trading. Securitize says its own secondary trading runs through its broker-dealer “without the need for exemptions,” while eligibility for Tokenized Securities Venues would fall under the SEC’s Innovation Exemption.

Securitize, listed on the NYSE as SECZ, reported about $5 billion in assets under management as of September 2026 in the same release.

Questions

Is a Securitize Stocks token the same as owning the share directly?

Not at launch. The token is a security entitlement held through Securitize’s broker-dealer. Direct registration on a company’s books is possible only where that company adopts issuer-sponsored tokenization.

Which network and currency are used?

Solana for the tokens and USDC for settlement, according to Securitize.

Can anyone buy them?

Only eligible investors in permitted jurisdictions who pass onboarding, KYC/AML and securities-law checks.
