Securitize shares rose about 10% on Thursday after the company launched a platform offering eligible investors tokenized versions of 12 US-listed stocks on the Solana blockchain. The products are designed to give investors exposure to underlying shares while retaining certain shareholder rights, including dividends and voting.
Tokenized access to major US companies
The new service, called Securitize Stocks, includes companies such as Apple, Nvidia, Microsoft and Tesla, along with eight other US-listed businesses. Each digital token is backed one-for-one by an underlying share, according to the company’s announcement.
The tokens are being introduced through Securitize’s registered broker-dealer platform. Trading will initially be available during extended market hours rather than only during the standard US stock-market session. Securitize said it plans to move toward round-the-clock trading, although it has not provided a timeline for that expansion.
The assets will settle in USDC, a stablecoin designed to track the value of the US dollar, on Solana. Jump Trading will provide liquidity through market-making services, helping facilitate trading in the newly launched products.
Rights, platforms and possible financial uses
Securitize said the tokens represent security entitlements under Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code. The company also said they preserve applicable benefits associated with shareholders, including dividend payments and voting rights.
The offering may eventually become available through tokenized-securities platforms being developed by the New York Stock Exchange and OKX, although neither platform has announced a launch date. Securitize is also examining uses beyond buying and selling the assets.
Ripple Prime is expected to support the launch and explore adding the tokenized stocks to its institutional trading services. Aave, a decentralized lending platform, has been identified as a potential venue where the tokenized shares could be used as collateral. Ripple Prime did not provide additional details to Cointelegraph before publication.
According to Cointelegraph, Securitize’s shares have gained roughly 54% over the past month, based on Yahoo Finance data. Thursday’s move was the second sharp rally for the stock this week. Shares rose nearly 8% in early trading on Tuesday after Securitize announced a partnership with South Korean technology company LG CNS to explore tokenized funds, equities and stablecoins for financial institutions.
That agreement also includes infrastructure intended to connect South Korean financial institutions with global capital markets. It followed a September memorandum of understanding with Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority concerning regulated tokenization initiatives in Dubai.

Tokenization refers to representing ownership or rights in traditional assets as blockchain-based digital tokens, potentially allowing them to be transferred and settled through digital-asset infrastructure.
