Securitize has introduced tokenized stocks for Apple, Nvidia, and Tesla on the Solana blockchain, with each token backed by an actual share and structured to preserve dividends and voting rights. The tokens function as security entitlements rather than direct shareholder registration, though conversion options may emerge as issuers adopt tokenization. NYSE trading integration is currently in development alongside ongoing regulatory discussions. RQD will provide clearing, custody, and settlement infrastructure connecting the tokenized shares to traditional markets, while Ripple Prime explores institutional applications. Eligible investors in the U.S., Europe, and other permitted jurisdictions can initially trade during extended market hours, with plans to expand to 24/7 access. This launch follows the SEC’s recent innovation exemption aimed at facilitating blockchain-based securities trading venues.
