Securitize brings Apple, Nvidia and Tesla to Solana, with NYSE trading in the works

Securitize has launched 'Securitize Stocks' on the Solana blockchain, enabling the trading of tokenized shares for 12 major U.S. companies including Apple, Nvidia, and Tesla. The initiative utilizes USDC for settlement and leverages Jump Trading to provide necessary liquidity for the platform. These tokens are structured to maintain economic benefits such as dividends and voting rights, representing security entitlements backed by actual shares. The project aims to bridge traditional capital markets with blockchain efficiency, supporting faster settlement and potential use as collateral in on-chain lending. Future plans include integration with the New York Stock Exchange's proposed 24/7 digital trading platform and the OKX-ICE joint venture. This development follows the SEC's recent introduction of an 'innovation exemption' designed to facilitate tokenized securities trading venues. By bringing equities on-chain, Securitize seeks to provide global investors with broader access to U.S. markets while adhering to established investor protections.

Tokenized equity trading hits record $15.6 billion in September

Tokenized equity trading reached a record $15.6 billion in September, marking a 16.4% increase from the previous month and surpassing the prior July peak. Robinhood dominated the sector with $6.57 billion in volume, capturing a 42% market share after a 407% surge in activity. Meanwhile, Binance’s bStocks saw volume decline by 45.5% to $5.42 billion, placing it second in the market. The total market capitalization for tokenized stocks rose 13.7% to $4.87 billion, now representing 14.2% of the broader real-world asset market. While equity trading flourished, other sectors saw mixed results, with tokenized bond and money-market funds falling 8.1% to $17.3 billion. Conversely, private credit and commodities experienced growth, reaching $5.62 billion and $6.43 billion respectively. This shift highlights the increasing institutional focus on blockchain-based securities infrastructure and the evolving composition of the on-chain asset landscape.

Securitize partners with LG CNS to advance tokenized assets in South Korea

LG CNS has launched its KITL blockchain platform, designed to provide infrastructure for stablecoins, tokenized securities, and real-world assets for South Korean financial institutions. To bolster this offering, the company signed a memorandum of understanding with Securitize to co-develop solutions specifically for tokenizing funds and bonds. This strategic move is timed to align with South Korea's anticipated regulatory framework for tokenized securities, which is expected to take effect in February 2027. By providing a consolidated system, LG CNS aims to help banks, securities firms, and payment providers reduce operational costs and accelerate their digital asset deployment. The platform's technology was previously validated through the Bank of Korea’s Project Hangang, which involved seven banks and 80,000 customers. While no live tokenized products have been issued yet, the partnership positions both firms to capture market share as the regulatory environment matures. This development is significant for the RWA market as it demonstrates how major IT service providers are building the necessary plumbing to facilitate institutional adoption of tokenized assets in a major Asian economy.

🔺 Layer One: Tokenized stocks surge as CFTC chair heralds era of 'mass tokenization'

Tokenized stocks have reached a significant milestone, surpassing $3.25 billion in total onchain value as regulatory sentiment shifts toward mass tokenization. CFTC Chair Michael Selig and SEC officials have signaled a more permissive environment, with the SEC introducing a five-year innovation exemption for onchain trading venues. This regulatory momentum follows the failure of the Clarity Act, which analysts suggest prompted regulators to accelerate their own frameworks. Market data reveals a bifurcated adoption pattern: institutional capital is heavily concentrated in products like Securitize's SECZ on the Avalanche blockchain, while retail-focused platforms like Robinhood drive massive growth in holder counts. Despite this rapid expansion, tokenized equities remain a small fraction of the $80 trillion U.S. equity market, though projections suggest potential growth toward $349 billion by 2030. The NYSE is also reportedly preparing its own platform for tokenized securities, further signaling institutional intent. This growth is currently supported by diverse blockchain ecosystems, with Solana and Robinhood Chain seeing significant retail activity alongside Avalanche's institutional dominance.

Securitize CEO Pushes Blockchain Records to Identify Shareholders

Securitize and Computershare have formed a strategic partnership to support the issuance of tokenized shares for U.S. public companies, aiming to modernize shareholder management. Securitize CEO Carlos Domingo advocates for recording share ownership on a blockchain to solve the persistent issue of companies lacking direct visibility into their beneficial owners. By leveraging blockchain records, issuers can streamline dividend distributions and facilitate more efficient proxy voting processes. This initiative builds upon the existing Direct Registration System, allowing companies to offer Issuer-Sponsored Tokens alongside traditional equity. The model was demonstrated on July 2, 2026, when Securitize listed its own common stock on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker SECZ, simultaneously placing those shares on-chain. While this development represents a significant shift in corporate governance infrastructure, the timeline for widespread adoption among other public issuers remains uncertain. This move highlights the growing institutional push to integrate distributed ledger technology into the core operations of the traditional equity market.

Bitcoin and Coinbase Gain After Senate Rejects Clarity Act

Following the U.S. Senate's rejection of the Clarity Act on September 15, the crypto market experienced a significant rally, with Bitcoin and Ethereum rising 11% and 12% respectively. Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan noted that while the industry lost the long-term certainty of federal law, it avoided restrictive compromises that would have hindered growth. A critical development occurred just two days after the vote when the SEC issued a five-year innovation exemption for tokenized U.S. stocks. This regulatory move allows these assets to trade through permissioned automated market makers and liquidity pools without requiring traditional exchange registration. The exemption specifically benefits firms like Securitize, which manages tokenized funds for major institutions including BlackRock, Apollo, and KKR. Furthermore, the failure of the Clarity Act prevents a proposed ban on stablecoin yield, allowing platforms like Coinbase to continue offering rewards. While the lack of permanent legislation introduces potential political risk for 2029, the current environment favors rapid innovation and institutional adoption. The total crypto market capitalization has since expanded to approximately $2.95 trillion.

Bitwise Maps the 4 Corners of Crypto That Won As CLARITY Act Stalled

Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan argues that the failure of the U.S. Senate's Clarity Act has paradoxically accelerated regulatory progress for the crypto industry. By failing to pass, the bill avoided restrictive measures that would have limited stablecoin yield payments and hindered the integration of exchange and brokerage services. Hougan highlights that the SEC has since provided more direct guidance, such as a five-year exemption for tokenized U.S. stocks, which benefits platforms like Securitize and the BlackRock BUIDL fund. This shift allows for faster innovation compared to the multi-year study period the Clarity Act would have mandated. Furthermore, recent SEC guidance regarding buyback announcements on functional networks provides immediate clarity that the proposed legislation would have delayed. While these gains currently rely on agency-level actions rather than permanent law, Hougan views the outcome as a net positive for market participants. The performance of assets like NEAR Protocol, which rose 126.62% following the vote, underscores the market's positive reaction to these regulatory developments.

Securitize Integrates ADI Chain: Tokenized BlackRock Funds Now Have UAE Sovereign Rails

Securitize, an NYSE-listed tokenization platform managing approximately $5 billion in assets, has integrated the UAE-based ADI Chain into its multichain infrastructure. This partnership enables tokenized financial products from major institutions like BlackRock, KKR, and Apollo to be issued and settled on sovereign-backed infrastructure governed by the Abu Dhabi Global Market. The integration utilizes Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol to connect ADI Chain with Securitize’s existing network, which includes Ethereum, Solana, and Avalanche. By leveraging ADI Chain’s zero-knowledge rollup architecture and ERC-3643 compliance standards, Securitize aims to bridge regulated U.S. financial products with Middle Eastern institutional rails. This move follows a recent Memorandum of Understanding between Securitize and Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority, signaling a broader strategic expansion into the UAE. The ADI Chain, developed by the ADI DLT Foundation, is backed by the International Holding Company and features a Central Bank-licensed stablecoin. This development represents a significant convergence of U.S. SEC-registered compliance frameworks with sovereign-grade blockchain infrastructure, potentially expanding access to global financial products for investors in the Global South.

BUIDL Leads US Treasury Debt RWA Returns With 371.98%

The BlackRock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL) has emerged as the top-performing asset in the U.S. Treasury debt RWA category according to RWA.xyz data. The fund currently reports a 30-day return of 371.98%, with consistent performance metrics of 374.69% over three months and 377.64% year-to-date. Despite a reported 20% decline in total assets under management to $2.2 billion, the fund is experiencing growth in both active addresses and total holder count. Launched on March 20, 2024, BUIDL operates as a British Virgin Islands Limited Company with Securitize acting as the platform and transfer agent. The fund maintains a $5 million minimum investment requirement and is restricted to U.S. Qualified Purchasers. Its multi-chain strategy has expanded its availability across nine networks, including Ethereum, Solana, and Arbitrum. This performance data highlights the increasing on-chain footprint of institutional-grade tokenized government debt products. The ability to process daily subscriptions and redemptions while distributing daily income remains a core feature of its market appeal.

Avalanche adds $131M in tokenized stocks

Avalanche recently experienced a $131.2 million surge in tokenized stock market capitalization, largely driven by a single product offering from Securitize. While this influx positions Avalanche ahead of competitors like Solana and X Layer, the growth is highly concentrated, raising concerns about the sustainability of its tokenized equity ecosystem. Data indicates that while total distributed RWA values on the network rose by 8.4% to $1.80 billion, transfer volumes plummeted by 75% to $81 million, suggesting that much of the issued capital remains dormant. Beyond equities, Avalanche is positioning itself as a settlement layer for institutional cash management, notably through the integration of Goldman Sachs' $105 billion FTIXX Treasury Fund via the Lynq platform. This strategy aims to capture institutional settlement activity without relying solely on the demand for tokenized stocks. However, the current disparity between asset growth and transactional activity highlights a significant conversion challenge for the network. For Avalanche to achieve a robust network effect, it must transition from being an asset-heavy repository to a platform that generates recurring, high-volume transfers. Ultimately, the network's future in the RWA space depends on its ability to foster broader institutional adoption beyond isolated product lines.

What Is Real-World Asset Tokenization? How Stocks, Bonds and Funds Move Onchain

The RWA sector is experiencing rapid institutional expansion, highlighted by OpenEden launching order book trading for its $TBILL fund on EX.IO with management by BNY Investments. Bitfinex Securities is leveraging Kazakhstan's AIFC regulatory framework to advance tokenized capital markets, while South Korean institutions including Securitize, KB Securities, and the Optimism Foundation have formed an MOU to structure tokenized securities. Market data reveals significant activity, with RWA perpetual futures trading volume hitting $117.3 billion in August 2026, dominated by decentralized platforms at 86% of total volume. Consolidation is also reshaping the landscape, as MoonPay moves to acquire North Capital, a private markets platform managing $9 billion in transaction volume. Regulatory engagement remains high, evidenced by CFTC Chairman Michael Selig addressing the integration of tokenized assets at a Federal Reserve-hosted Treasury Market Conference. These developments collectively signal a shift toward mature, regulated, and high-volume tokenized financial infrastructure. This trend underscores the transition of RWA tokenization from experimental pilots to integrated components of global capital markets.

Ethereum Price Prediction: ARK Puts $1.3B Onchain as Remittix Opens PayFi Access to 1,000 Users

ARK Invest has tokenized its ARKVX venture fund through Securitize, migrating approximately $1.3 billion in assets onto Ethereum-connected infrastructure. This move represents a significant institutional adoption of blockchain for managing traditional financial vehicles, signaling a shift toward on-chain ownership and transfer. Simultaneously, the payment platform Remittix has launched its PayFi service to an initial cohort of 1,000 users, aiming to bridge the gap between digital assets and local fiat bank accounts. By facilitating crypto-to-bank transfers across 30 currencies, Remittix seeks to integrate payment rails directly into the user experience. These developments highlight a dual-track evolution in the RWA market: the institutionalization of complex investment funds and the expansion of consumer-facing payment utility. The convergence of these trends suggests that blockchain is increasingly serving as the foundational layer for both high-level asset management and everyday financial transactions. As these platforms scale, they provide the necessary infrastructure to transition crypto from a speculative asset class to a functional component of the global financial system.
