Securitize Launches Tokenized Versions of Apple, Nvidia, and Other US Stocks

October 8, 2026, 2:04 PM UTC (1 hour ago) · 1 source · Summarized by CryptoBipto

Securitize has launched tokenized stocks that the company says are backed 1:1 by actual shares of major US companies including Apple, Nvidia, and Strategy. The tokens reportedly allow holders to gain exposure to traditional equities through blockchain-based representations of the underlying stocks.

WHY IT MATTERS

Think of tokenized stocks like digital receipts for real shares. If you buy a tokenized version of an Apple share, the company behind it says it holds an actual Apple share on your behalf. The token on the blockchain represents your claim to that share. This matters because it could make stock ownership more accessible — blockchain-based tokens can potentially be traded around the clock and split into smaller pieces, unlike traditional stocks that trade only during market hours. For people learning about crypto, this is an example of how blockchain technology is being used beyond cryptocurrencies to represent traditional financial assets, a trend called real-world asset tokenization or RWA.

Securitize, a firm focused on tokenizing real-world assets, has introduced tokenized versions of several prominent US stocks. The company states that each token is backed on a one-to-one basis by the corresponding traditional share, meaning that for every token issued, an equivalent share is held in reserve.
