What to know:
- Securitize will offer an onchain trading platform for real public stocks in early 2026, allowing investors to own and trade tokenized shares directly.
- The platform offers full legal ownership, with shares issued and recorded onchain, and provides real shareholder rights and self-custody.
- Trading will operate 24/7, with prices tied to major exchanges during US market hours and an automated market maker setting prices outside those hours.
Securitize will offer of what it calls the first fully compliant onchain trading platform for real public stocks in early 2026, blurring the lines between traditional markets and Web3 infrastructure.
The company’s system allows investors to directly own tokenized shares of public companies, issued and recorded onchain, and tradable through a blockchain-based interface, according to an announcement on Tuesday.

Unlike synthetic token models that track stock prices via offshore entities or derivatives, Securitize’s approach offers full legal ownership. Each share is issued by the company itself and logged on its official cap table, the firm said.
“This is not a synthetic price tracker or an IOU against a custodian,” Securitize wrote in its announcement. “These are real, regulated shares: issued onchain, recorded directly on the issuer’s cap table, and tradable through a familiar Web3 swap-style experience.”
That means token holders get real shareholder rights, including dividends and voting privileges, and their assets sit under self-custody, with no middlemen rehypothecating shares behind the scenes. The assets are, nevertheless, permissioned and can only be transferred between compliant, whitelisted wallets.
Trading will happen via a swap-style interface that mirrors the look and feel of decentralized finance (DeFi) tools, but an Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)-registered broker-dealer and transfer agent backs the transactions, the firm added.
During U.S. market hours, prices will reflect those on major exchanges, with trades required to match the National Best Bid and Offer. Outside those hours, an automated market maker determines prices based on real-time demand, creating a 24/7 market that doesn’t pause for holidays or weekends.
The move builds on Securitize’s earlier work with Exodus (EXOD), the first public company to issue stock natively onchain in late 2024.
Though only select stocks will be available at first, the company says it’s looking to build on its approach to become a standard for tokenized public equity.
