Securitize announces ‘real’ tokenized stocks, touts DeFi integration

Securitize plans to launch compliant, natively tokenized stocks in early 2026, enabling real equity ownership to trade 24/7 fully onchain.

Securitize, a company focused on tokenizing securities, said Tuesday it plans to launch what it calls the first compliant, onchain trading experience for public stocks that are issued as tokens representing real share ownership.
