Securitize launches tokenized stocks on Solana with Apple, Nvidia and Tesla

Oct 8, 2026

Securitize has launched tokenized U.S. stocks on the Solana blockchain, starting with 12 major equities including Apple, Nvidia, Tesla, and Microsoft. Backed 1:1 by underlying shares, these tokens preserve shareholder rights like dividends and voting. The launch leverages the SEC's new innovation exemption framework, with plans to expand trading to the NYSE's upcoming 24/7 digital platform and the OKX-ICE joint venture venue.
