Securitize has expanded its tokenized U.S. stock offering to 25 equities on the Solana blockchain, embedding DeFi-native functions directly into the token structure.
Billy Huang, Securitize's chief operating officer, said tokenized shares confer identical legal ownership rights to traditional brokerage holdings. The expanded roster includes major corporations such as ExxonMobil, with investors able to acquire fractional ownership as digital tokens.
The platform integrates three core DeFi primitives: holders can lend their tokenized shares to earn yield, receive dividends paid in stablecoins, and exercise voting rights tied to corporate governance. Stablecoin payouts eliminate traditional fiat transfer delays.
Securitize previously received SEC approval for its alternative trading system for digital securities, establishing the regulatory foundation for its tokenized asset offerings. The migration to Solana leverages the blockchain's throughput and low transaction costs to support efficient settlement and trading at scale.
