Securitize is launching “Securitize Stocks,” a product that issues tokenized US equities backed one-to-one by real shares. The offering starts with a set of large-company stocks, including Apple and Nvidia, and the tokens are designed to preserve key shareholder rights such as dividends and voting. Initial trading is set to take place on Securitize’s Solana-based platform.
Across outlets, coverage is consistent that the tokens are backed by actual shares and that settlement involves stablecoin infrastructure, described as USDC in one report. Securitize also says it is planning further expansion of where the tokens can be traded, including mentions of additional venues tied to the NYSE and OKX’s ICE platform. The reports frame the move as an initial rollout with broader venue and asset expansion planned after the Solana launch.
