The Solana-based platform added 13 names, including Exxon Mobil, Johnson & Johnson and Uber, less than a month after launch
Securitize just doubled down on putting Wall Street on a blockchain. The company added 13 new US equities to its Securitize Stocks platform, bringing the lineup of on-chain stock tokens to 25.
The expansion was announced on November 2, 2026. The platform’s first batch of 12 equities went live on October 8, 2026, so the catalog roughly doubled in under four weeks.
The timing is interesting. The expansion lands while traditional finance’s own plumbing, in the form of the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC), is rolling out a tokenization service of its own. StoneX analysts argue that development helps Securitize more than it hurts.
What’s actually in the box
The new additions include some very old-economy names. Exxon Mobil (XOM), Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) and Uber Technologies (UBER) are among the 13 stocks now available as tokens.
Each token is backed 1:1 by real underlying shares. Those shares sit in custody and are not lent out, according to the company’s disclosures.
The tokens trade on the Solana blockchain and settle in USDC, the dollar-pegged stablecoin. Buyers swap stablecoins for stock exposure without ever touching a traditional brokerage cash account.
Liquidity support comes from Jump Trading, one of the more recognizable market-making names in both traditional and crypto markets.
The regulatory wrapper
The issuing entity is Securitize Markets, an SEC-registered broker-dealer and a FINRA member.
Legally, the tokens are security entitlements under UCC Article 8. Article 8 is the section of US commercial law that governs how people hold securities through intermediaries, which is also how most ordinary brokerage customers own their shares.
That is a meaningful distinction. Holders do not own shares directly the way someone holding a paper certificate might, but the arrangement mirrors the indirect ownership model most investors already use without realizing it. Conversion options are available in certain cases.
The tokens are also designed for compatibility with Tokenized Securities Venues. The offering targets eligible investors in the US, the EU and other jurisdictions.
Trading hours are another selling point. The platform currently runs beyond standard US market hours, and Securitize plans to move toward round-the-clock availability.
The DTCC question
The bigger strategic backdrop involves the DTCC, the institution that sits underneath much of US securities settlement. It has launched a new tokenization service, which on the surface looks like the incumbent moving into Securitize’s neighborhood.
StoneX analysts see it differently. In a Monday note to clients, analyst Mark Palmer argued the DTCC service validates rather than threatens Securitize’s business model, because the two platforms serve different markets.
The distinction comes down to permissions. The DTCC offering is permissioned and initially limited to certain securities, participants and blockchain networks.
Securitize, by contrast, focuses on public-blockchain tokenization. Its products include tokenized funds, equities and assets that can be plugged into decentralized finance.
The DTCC approach is built for the existing institutional machinery, keeping tokenized assets inside a controlled environment. Securitize’s model lets those assets travel on open networks like Solana, where they can, in principle, interact with other on-chain applications.
What this means for investors and the tokenization race
For investors in Securitize itself, which trades on the NYSE under the ticker SECZ, the expansion is a signal of execution speed. Going from 12 to 25 equities in less than a month suggests the operational pipeline for onboarding new names is working.
For the crypto side, the choice of Solana and USDC is notable. It places tokenized equities directly on infrastructure that DeFi traders already use.
Tokens that represent real shares, with dividend and voting rights, are a different proposition from synthetic stock derivatives that have appeared on crypto platforms in the past.
