Summary
Each token is backed one-to-one by an underlying share and represents a security entitlement under UCC Article 8. The company states that the structure is designed to preserve applicable rights and economic benefits, including dividends and voting rights where applicable. The backing shares will not be lent out. Carlos Domingo, Chairman and CEO of Securitize, said tokenized stocks "should give investors more than a price on a wrapper that tracks a stock and is only offered offshore."
Trading will begin on Securitize's registered broker-dealer platform on the Solana blockchain, with transactions settling in stablecoins. Initially, trading will be available during extended hours through Securitize's Solana PropAMM, with Jump Trading serving as market maker. The company plans to move toward 24/7 availability. Access is subject to onboarding, KYC/AML checks, jurisdictional eligibility, and applicable securities laws.
The tokens are expected to trade on the New York Stock Exchange's planned 24/7 digital trading venue and the OKXICE Tokenized Securities Venue, subject to regulatory approval and operational requirements. Neither venue has launched. Publisher materials note that NYSE has entered a memorandum of understanding with Securitize to develop a digital transfer agent program for on-chain securities, with Securitize positioned as the first digital transfer agent eligible to create blockchain-based securities for issuers. Those materials also describe Securitize as a BlackRock-backed tokenization firm that has gone public, and report that tokenized stocks have risen sharply in 2026, with onchain value surpassing $3 billion for the first time. These figures are drawn from publisher context rather than the launch announcement itself.
