Securitize Launches Tokenized Stocks on Solana Ahead of 24/7 ICE Venue Listings

Securitize, crypto’s biggest non-stablecoin RWA issuer by AUM, is stepping into the onchain equities game. Starting on Solana, Securitize has launched its own fleet of tokenized stocks, offering shareholder rights and benefits to verified holders.

The launch comes ahead of the eagerly anticipated launch of a 24/7 trading venue built by ICE, the parent company of the NYSE. While official dates are yet to be announced, Securitize stocks are expected to be listed on the venue.

While Securitize is primed for institutional adoption, its KYC requirements could discourage use among crypto natives.

Securitize Joins Backpack, xStocks, and Ondo in Onchain Equity Rush

Having dominated crypto’s RWA sector through its tokenization of over $5B worth of institutional funds like BlackRock’s $BUIDL, Securitize is stepping into the equities race. Securitize stocks are now live on Solana, giving verified users access to large cap equities like NVDA, GOOGL and AAPL.

Unlike some of its competitors, Securitize argues its onchain stocks come complete with securities entitlements. Where many tokenized stock derivatives are simply a wrapper used to track price, Securitize stocks carry benefits like dividends and voting rights.

Beyond these mechanical advantages, Securitize Stocks are designed to be compatible and consistent with the evolving regulatory landscape for digital assets in the United States. Owing to Securitize’s institutional ties and regulatory efforts, the issuer’s onchain equities are expected to be eligible for listing on Tokenized Securities Venues (TSVs), as outlined by the SEC’s recent Innovation Exemption.

“The opportunity is to bring equities onchain without leaving behind the ownership, investor protections and market infrastructure that make U.S. capital markets work. Securitize Stocks are designed around that principle, while creating a bridge to a future where issuers themselves can participate directly in tokenization.” - Carlos Domingo, Securitize CEO

Securitize Stocks Slated for 24/7 ICE Venue Listings

With TradFi embracing tokenization and 24/7 markets faster than ever before, Securitize has been positioning itself to be front and center of institutional-scale digital asset markets. 

Following their debut on Solana, Securitize Stocks are expected to be tradable on the upcoming OKXICE TSV, a venue built through a collaboration between OKX and Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), the parent company of NYSE. 

“Global demand for U.S. equities is undeniable. Investors everywhere want access to the world's deepest, most innovative capital markets, on their terms and around the clock. OKXICE is being built for exactly this kind of product: unlocking 24/7 access to U.S. stocks for global investors while preserving the full shareholder rights, protections and economic benefits they expect.” - Andrew Cuomo

While already possible for the average DeFi user since mid 2025, the upcoming TSV will give institutional players a 24/7 trading environment that is compliant with U.S. regulatory standards.

Will KYC-Requirements Inhibit Growth?

In its latest launch, Securitize joins a growing list of tokenized stock issuers on Solana. Assets like $SPCX now have 6 different onchain variants, fragmenting liquidity and composability and hindering the end user experience.

 

However, it’s becoming abundantly clear that while many different versions of tokenized stocks exist onchain, they typically serve a different kind of trader and investor. Where issuers like Backpack Securities and xStocks are more popular among crypto natives, Securitize and Ondo cater for the institutional crowd.

Securitize stocks are permissioned by design, meaning that only verified wallets can trade and transact them. While this alienates them from much of the onchain userbase, this tradeoff is what makes Securitize-issued assets sufficiently compliant for listing on TradFi scale venues like the upcoming OKXICE.

Similar efforts have also come from issuers like Superstate, who’ve worked with crypto native companies like Galaxy ($GLXY) and Forward Industries ($FWDI) to tokenize publicly traded stock onchain.
