Securitize is getting ready to change how people trade public stocks. In early 2026, the company plans to launch a new on-chain trading system that lets investors buy and sell real company shares directly on the blockchain.
This isn’t about fake tokens or price trackers. These will be real public stocks, fully legal, fully regulated, and recorded directly on the company’s ownership records. If you own the token, you own the share. That means voting rights, dividends, and full shareholder status, just like traditional stocks.
Securitize says the goal is simple: mix the speed and flexibility of blockchain trading with the rules and protections of regular stock markets. Investors get a modern, web3-style experience without losing legal rights or regulatory safety.
Most tokenized stock products today don’t actually give true ownership. Many use offshore setups, middle companies, or synthetic structures that only follow the price of a stock. In those cases, investors aren’t listed as shareholders, don’t always get voting rights, and may face extra risks.
Securitize is trying to fix that problem by issuing shares directly on-chain and putting investors on the official cap table of the company. Everything is transparent, verifiable, and compliant.
Trading will happen through Securitize’s regulated broker platforms in the U.S. and Europe. During normal market hours, prices will follow official stock market rules. Outside those hours, trading can still happen on-chain, allowing access to liquidity 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Because settlement happens on-chain, trades are completed almost instantly instead of taking days. Investors can hold their shares in their own wallets, move them between approved accounts, receive dividends directly, and vote without needing a traditional broker.
Securitize says this is just the beginning. The company plans to work closely with regulators, developers, and public companies to grow this system in a responsible way as demand increases.
If successful, this could mark a major step toward merging traditional finance with blockchain technology — without cutting corners or breaking the rules.
