Securitize to offer first fully onchain trading for real public stocks in early 2026

Securitize plans to launch the first fully compliant onchain trading platform for real public stocks in early 2026.

Summary

Securitize announced plans to launch a fully compliant onchain trading platform for real public stocks in early 2026, aiming to merge traditional markets with Web3 infrastructure. Unlike synthetic models, Securitize's system provides full legal ownership, with tokenized shares issued and recorded directly on the issuer's official cap table. Token holders will receive genuine shareholder rights, including dividends and voting, and maintain self-custody, though transfers are restricted to whitelisted, compliant wallets. Trading will use a DeFi-like swap interface backed by an SEC-registered broker-dealer and transfer agent. Prices will mirror major exchanges during U.S. market hours, with an automated market maker determining prices 24/7 outside those hours.
