Securitize launches 1:1 share-backed tokenized stocks on Solana

Securitize has started issuing tokenized U.S. equities on Solana, with each token backed one-for-one by a real share held through the firm's regulated brokerage, according to The Block. The first batch tracks large-cap names — The Block's reporting lists Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Alphabet, Tesla, Meta and Amazon — with Circle and Strategy among those expected to follow.

The tokens use a structure Securitize calls a Convertible Entitlement Token (CET). Shares sit at Securitize Markets' brokerage infrastructure, and holders are entitled to dividends, shareholder rights and corporate-action entitlements, the company said. Securitize frames CETs as a bridge: if an issuer later adopts an issuer-sponsored tokenized share structure with Securitize, it says existing CET positions can convert into that model.

Trades settle in USDC and initially run during extended U.S. market hours, with the company saying it plans to move toward 24/7 trading. Securitize said earlier this year it had tapped market makers Jump and Jupiter to provide liquidity and access for the effort.

The Block reports the launch coincides with tokenized stocks passing $3 billion in on-chain value, and attributes much of the recent growth to Securitize itself. Securitize was also the first company to list shares both on-chain and on the NYSE, debuting its own SECZ stock on Solana and Avalanche.

Key facts

• Securitize launched tokenized U.S. stocks, backed 1:1 by shares held at its regulated brokerage — The Block, Oct. 8, 2026.
• Settlement in USDC on Solana; extended U.S. hours now, 24/7 planned — The Block.
• Structure branded "Convertible Entitlement Token" (CET), carrying dividends and shareholder rights — Securitize, via The Block.
• Tokenized stocks surpassed $3 billion in on-chain value, much of it recent Securitize growth — The Block.
• Jump and Jupiter engaged for liquidity earlier in 2026 — The Block.

The real-world read

The Block's own copy doesn't line up on what actually went live. Its summary says initial tokens are "Apple, Nvidia, and Tesla, with Circle and Strategy expected to follow"; the body lists seven names at launch and adds SpaceX and Palantir — both largely private or hard-to-access stocks — to the "expected" list. Exactly which tokens are tradeable today isn't cleanly confirmed, and neither the precise launch roster nor the mechanics of sourcing private shares like SpaceX are spelled out.

Treat the pitch accordingly. CEO Carlos Domingo's line that the product brings "the actual ownership experience onchain" is the company's framing, not an independent finding — and the key qualifier is that CET holders get an entitlement routed through Securitize's brokerage, not direct registered ownership. The $3 billion milestone is cited by The Block but credited substantially to Securitize's own activity, so the headline growth number and the company benefiting from it are closely linked.

This is not investment advice.
