Securitize launches "Stocks on Securitize" program, enabling real stocks to be traded on-chain

TechFlow, December 17 — Securitize, an asset tokenization platform, announced the launch of its "Stocks on Securitize" program, enabling real-time on-chain trading of genuine stocks. Securitize stated that this product is not synthetic assets or IOUs, but rather regulated real stocks, with shares directly recorded on the issuer's shareholder register and tradable on-chain within a familiar crypto trading experience. Unlike most current "tokenized stocks" that only offer price exposure, this solution grants investors actual ownership and shareholder rights, while enabling programmability under compliance, allowing stocks to interact with smart contracts, lending protocols, and DeFi infrastructure—marking a critical step forward in the tokenization of public market assets.
