Securitize launches 1:1 tokenized shares tied to Apple and other major U.S. stocks on Solana

The platform said its Securitize Stocks product will offer fully backed tokens representing 12 large U.S. companies, including Apple, with dividends and voting rights, plus a route intended to let eligible investors move from tokens to direct share ownership.

Securitize is rolling out a new version of its tokenized-stock offering that includes Apple and Nvidia among the underlying U.S. equities. The company’s plan, as described in a market report, centers on “Securitize Stocks,” a product that issues tokens designed to be fully backed on a one-to-one basis by the corresponding shares.

According to the report, the initial lineup covers 12 major U.S. stocks. Apple is listed among the companies included, and Nvidia is named as well. The report also says the tokens are issued on Solana, a public blockchain known for fast transaction processing and low fees relative to some other networks.

The token structure, as characterized in the coverage, is intended to give investors exposure to the economic and governance features of the underlying shares. The report says the tokens come with dividends and voting rights, meaning holders are meant to receive distributions and have a mechanism linked to corporate voting, rather than functioning purely as price-tracking instruments.

The product is also described as designed for a “path to direct share ownership.” In practical terms, that suggests the token holders are meant to have some mechanism, for eligible users, to convert or otherwise take steps toward holding the actual shares rather than only owning a blockchain token. The report does not lay out the conversion mechanics, timing, or eligibility criteria in the text provided.

For Apple, the significance is indirect but real. Tokenization platforms can broaden the distribution channels for large, liquid equities, potentially reaching investors who prefer blockchain-based settlement and account infrastructure. Still, Apple has not announced anything about this specific offering, and the report does not indicate whether Apple has partnered with Securitize or Solana for the rollout.

From a market-structure perspective, tokenized-stock products sit at the intersection of capital markets and crypto infrastructure. The claim that the tokens are “fully backed” on a one-to-one basis, and that they include dividends and voting rights, are important differentiators because they aim to mirror core shareholder entitlements. But such claims also raise questions about custody, redemption and operational controls, which were not detailed in the provided reporting.

Why It Matters

  • If operationally implemented as described, dividend and voting functionality could make tokenized equity exposure closer to traditional shareholding than simple crypto derivatives.
  • Using a public blockchain such as Solana may reduce some friction in settlement compared with legacy workflows, potentially expanding access for certain investor types.
  • Apple inclusion highlights how tokenization efforts are increasingly targeting very large U.S. companies, not only smaller issuers.
