Securitize plans to launch a fully on-chain US stock trading platform in early 2026.

BlockBeats News, December 17, tokenization service provider Securitize announced plans to launch what it calls the first fully compliant, fully on-chain trading platform for real publicly listed company stocks in early 2026, further bridging the gap between traditional financial markets and Web3 infrastructure.

According to the announcement, the platform will allow investors to directly hold real shares of publicly listed companies issued and registered on-chain, and trade them through a blockchain interface. Unlike "synthetic stocks" that only track stock prices via derivatives or offshore structures, Securitize's model provides full legal ownership, with shares issued directly by the company and recorded in the official shareholder register.

Securitize stated that on-chain stockholders will enjoy real shareholder rights, including dividends and voting rights, and assets will be self-custodied by users, eliminating the risk of intermediaries privately re-pledging shares. However, for compliance reasons, these assets can only be transferred between whitelisted wallets that have passed verification.

The trading interface will adopt a DeFi-like Swap style, but will be supported by SEC-registered brokers and transfer agents at the backend. During US stock trading hours, prices will remain consistent with mainstream exchanges and comply with the "National Best Bid and Offer (NBBO)" rule; during non-trading hours, prices will be set by an automated market-making mechanism, enabling 24/7 continuous trading.
