Securitize launches tokenized US equities on Solana blockchain

Securitize launched tokenized shares of 12 US companies on Solana with dividend and voting rights, enabling 24/7 trading. This expands on-chain equity trading infrastructure and validates Solana as a settlement layer, but represents early-stage adoption with limited volume relative to the ecosystem.

A company called Securitize now lets people buy shares of real US companies as digital tokens on the Solana blockchain, with the ability to trade them anytime and collect dividends, which is a win for Solana's utility but still very niche.
