SKN | Securitize Brings Apple, Nvidia and Tesla to Solana as Tokenized Stocks Move Toward NYSE

Key Points:

• Securitize has launched tokenized U.S. equities on Solana, initially covering 12 companies including Apple, Nvidia, Tesla, Microsoft and Amazon.
• Each token is backed one-for-one by an underlying share, with applicable dividends, voting rights and other economic benefits preserved under the security-entitlement structure.
• The products are planned for expansion to the NYSE’s digital trading venue and OKXICE, potentially extending tokenized equity trading toward a broader 24/7 market.

Securitize has brought some of the world’s most widely held U.S. equities onto Solana, launching tokenized shares of Apple, Nvidia, Tesla and nine other companies for eligible investors. The move places regulated securities infrastructure directly inside a public blockchain ecosystem and comes as the U.S. regulatory framework for tokenized stocks is becoming more defined, potentially accelerating the integration of traditional equities with onchain markets.

From Apple and Nvidia to 12 Tokenized Equities

The initial Securitize Stocks offering covers 12 U.S. equities, including Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Alphabet, Tesla, Meta, Amazon, Netflix, Circle, SpaceX, Strategy and Palantir. The tokens are structured as security entitlements and backed one-for-one by the underlying shares held through Securitize’s regulated brokerage infrastructure, rather than simply tracking stock prices synthetically. Transactions initially settle in USDC and trading begins during extended U.S. market hours, with Securitize targeting eventual 24/7 availability.

That structure is important for institutional investors. Applicable dividends, voting rights and other economic benefits associated with the underlying securities are designed to remain with token holders, while the framework creates a potential path toward issuer-sponsored tokenization when companies adopt such structures. The distinction could become increasingly relevant as institutions assess whether tokenized stocks offer more than an alternative trading interface.

Solana Is Becoming a Major Tokenized-Equity Venue

The launch arrives as tokenized equities on Solana are already developing meaningful scale. Solana reported approximately $684 million in tokenized-equity supply in September, up 47% over three weeks, while tokenized-stock trading volume reached roughly $4.4 billion during the month. More than 1 million wallets had cumulatively held tokenized stocks on the network.

Securitize itself reported $4.3 billion in tokenized assets under management as of June 30, 2026, while aggregate transaction volume reached $5.3 billion during the second quarter, an increase of 147% year over year. The new equity products therefore enter an ecosystem where tokenized financial assets are already moving beyond pilot-stage experimentation toward measurable trading and settlement activity.

NYSE and OKXICE Could Extend the Market Beyond Crypto

The more consequential development may be what comes next. Securitize expects the tokenized equities to become available through the NYSE’s planned digital trading venue and the OKXICE Tokenized Securities Venue, subject to their launches and applicable regulatory and operational requirements. NYSE and Securitize already signed a memorandum of understanding in March to develop infrastructure for tokenized securities and onchain settlement.

The regulatory backdrop is also changing. In September, the SEC granted a temporary, conditional Innovation Exemption for Tokenized Securities Venues, allowing certain onchain trading of tokenized NMS stocks under specified conditions. The exemption includes limits on symbols and trading volume, requirements for equivalent shareholder rights and auditable smart contracts, and is scheduled to expire after five years.

For investors, the next test is whether tokenized equities can generate sustained liquidity, institutional participation and cross-venue interoperability rather than simply expanding the number of assets available onchain. If Securitize’s Solana launch progresses toward NYSE and OKXICE venues, the significance could extend beyond individual stocks: it would provide a practical test of whether blockchain settlement can become part of mainstream market infrastructure while preserving the regulatory protections of traditional securities markets.
