đš STOCKS | NVIDIA, APPLE AND MICROSOFT SHARES ARE MOVING ONCHAIN â WALL STREETâS NEXT BIG RACE HAS BEGUN
The next major stock-market revolution may have nothing to do with AI.
Itâs about putting traditional stocks on blockchain infrastructure.
A new October 11 report from Barronâs highlights how Wall Street is accelerating its push toward tokenized securities.
And one publicly traded company has already made a major move.
On October 8, Securitize announced blockchain-based trading for tokenized shares of major U.S. companies.
Including:
$NVDA â NVIDIA
$AAPL â APPLE
$MSFT â MICROSOFT
The initial infrastructure uses Solana, with tokens backed by actual underlying shares.
Importantly, the service is initially designed for extended-hours trading.
Full 24/7 availability remains a future objective â not an existing universal feature.
But Securitize isnât alone.
NYSE owner Intercontinental Exchange and crypto exchange OKX have filed plans for a separate tokenized-stock trading platform.
Nasdaq is also developing its own equity-tokenization framework.
Meanwhile, DTCC has received regulatory clearance to introduce tokenization services for eligible securities.
WHY DOES THIS MATTER?
Traditional stock markets operate within fixed trading sessions.
Blockchain infrastructure could eventually enable:
24/7 stock trading.
Faster settlement.
More efficient collateral transfers.
Programmable securities.
But tokenization doesnât automatically eliminate market risk, guarantee liquidity or provide identical shareholder rights across every product.
The legal structure of each token matters.
And thatâs where the competition becomes interesting.
STOCKS TO WATCH:
$SECZ âą $ICE âą $NDAQ âą $HOOD âą $COIN
These companies offer different types of exposure to digital trading infrastructure, but not all are direct beneficiaries of tokenized equities.
