Securitize Expands Onchain U.S. Stock Offering to 25 Equities Including Disney and Uber

Securitize has doubled its tokenized U.S. equity offering, adding 13 major stocks to its onchain platform. For fintech professionals, this expansion signals a maturing infrastructure for real-world asset tokenization, moving beyond price exposure to provide 1:1 backed security entitlements that preserve traditional investor rights while leveraging the efficiency and extended hours of blockchain-based settlement.

What was announced

Securitize expanded its "Securitize Stocks" product on October 8, bringing the total number of available onchain equities to 25. The new additions include Arista Networks, Flex Ltd., Exxon Mobil, GameStop, Johnson & Johnson, Lockheed Martin, Lumentum, Merck & Co., Salesforce, Seagate Technology, Texas Instruments, The Walt Disney Company, and Uber Technologies. These join an initial roster that included tech giants like Apple, Microsoft, and Nvidia.

The platform operates on the Solana blockchain, with liquidity supported by Jump Trading and transactions settling in USDC. Unlike synthetic products that merely track price movements, these assets are backed 1:1 by underlying shares and structured as security entitlements under UCC Article 8. This ensures investors retain economic benefits such as dividends and, where applicable, voting rights. The offering uses a convertible entitlement token (CET) structure, allowing investors to convert entitlements into direct ownership on an issuer’s transfer agent register if the company adopts issuer-sponsored tokenization.

Secondary trading is facilitated through Securitize Markets, LLC, an SEC-registered broker-dealer. While currently available beyond traditional market hours, the firm intends to move toward 24/7 availability. The tokens are also designed for compatibility with upcoming venues, including the 24/7 digital trading platform being developed by the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the upcoming OKXICE Tokenized Securities Venue.

"Our vision is to make U.S. equities available to investors globally, with the same rights and protections they expect from traditional markets. Every new stock brings us closer to a future where equities can move seamlessly between traditional and onchain markets, and where more issuers and investors can participate directly in tokenization."

The companies involved

Securitize Corp. (NYSE: SECZ) is a prominent player in the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA), providing the infrastructure for issuing and managing digital securities. The company acts as a bridge between traditional finance and decentralized ledgers, operating an SEC-registered transfer agent and a broker-dealer through its subsidiary, Securitize Markets. It has positioned itself as a leader in bringing regulated financial instruments onto public blockchains.

The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), which is developing a 24/7 digital trading venue compatible with these assets, is owned by Intercontinental Exchange (ICE). As a cornerstone of global capital markets, the NYSE's move toward digital asset infrastructure marks a significant shift in how traditional exchanges view blockchain technology. Jump Trading provides the liquidity infrastructure for the Securitize Stocks offering. As a major global quantitative trading firm, Jump’s participation is critical for maintaining the liquidity required for institutional and retail adoption of onchain equities. Together, these entities represent a consortium of traditional market heavyweights and crypto-native infrastructure providers attempting to modernize the plumbing of the U.S. equity market.

What FF News has reported before

FF News has tracked Securitize’s expanding footprint in the institutional tokenization space. Recently, the firm partnered with Anchorage Digital to enable direct stablecoin minting, a move aimed at streamlining institutional participation in digital assets. Internationally, the company has been active in the APAC region, where KB Securities tapped Securitize and Optimism for institutional tokenization projects in South Korea.

The broader trend of extended trading hours and digital infrastructure is also a recurring theme. FF News reported on NYSE American Options launching extended trading hours for major tech stocks and ETFs, reflecting the same market demand for flexibility that drives Securitize’s 24/7 ambitions. Additionally, the platform’s role in capital markets was highlighted when Bladex secured MXN 5 Billion in debt issuance, demonstrating the diverse financial instruments moving toward digital settlement.

What this means

This expansion moves the needle by shifting tokenization from a niche experiment to a viable alternative for mainstream equity ownership. By using a 1:1 backed structure rather than synthetic derivatives, Securitize is directly challenging the "walled garden" of traditional brokerage hours and T+2 settlement cycles. The inclusion of high-volatility retail favorites like GameStop alongside blue-chip industrials like Lockheed Martin suggests an attempt to capture diverse investor segments. However, the real pressure is now on traditional clearinghouses and legacy custodians. If onchain settlement can prove it maintains UCC Article 8 protections while offering 24/7 liquidity, the argument for keeping equities on legacy ledgers becomes increasingly difficult to sustain.
