Securitize, the tokenization platform listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker SECZ, launched Securitize Stocks on October 8, putting 12 widely held U.S. equities onchain as security entitlements backed one-for-one by the underlying shares.
The initial line-up spans Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Alphabet, Tesla, Meta, Amazon, Netflix, MicroStrategy and Palantir, according to the company announcement. Trading begins on Solana through Securitize’s registered broker-dealer platform, with trades settling in USDC, and access is open to eligible investors in the United States, the European Union and other permitted jurisdictions. Access remains subject to onboarding, KYC/AML checks and jurisdictional eligibility.
How Securitize Stocks Differ From Price-Tracking Products
Securitize is positioning the tokens as more than a synthetic wrapper around a stock price. Each token is backed one-for-one by a real share and structured as a security entitlement under UCC Article 8, which the company says preserves investor rights and economic benefits such as dividends and, where the underlying class carries them, voting rights. The tokens are convertible, where available, to direct ownership on the books of the issuer’s transfer agent, and the shares backing them will not be lent out.
Market Makers and Launch Partners
Jump Trading will act as the market maker on Securitize’s Solana PropAMM to support liquidity and price discovery, with trading initially offered during extended hours before a planned move to 24/7 availability. Ripple Prime plans to support the launch, and Aave founder Stani Kulechov flagged the potential for the tokens to become usable in lending and collateral markets. Securitize reported roughly $5 billion in assets under management as of September 2026.
What Happens Next
Securitize Stocks are expected to eventually trade on a new 24/7 digital venue being developed by the New York Stock Exchange and on the OKXICE Tokenized Securities Venue, which combines OKX technology with the regulatory reach of Intercontinental Exchange. Those venues have not launched, and trading on them remains subject to regulatory approval and venue review. Securitize says the offering is designed to align with SEC guidance on tokenized securities, with secondary trading handled through its broker-dealer rather than exemptions. The move adds to a fast-moving tokenized-equities market that has already seen Coinbase put tokenized stocks on Base and the SEC grant an Innovation Exemption for tokenized stock trading.
