Securitize to Launch First Fully On-Chain Trading for Real Public Stocks in 2026

Digital asset securities firm Securitize has announced a groundbreaking initiative to launch the first fully on-chain trading platform for real public company stocks. The service is scheduled to go live in early 2026. This move aims to leverage blockchain technology to facilitate the trading of tokenized equity securities directly on-chain, representing a significant step in merging traditional finance (TradFi) with decentralized finance (DeFi). The platform intends to offer a more efficient, transparent, and accessible way for investors to trade shares of publicly listed companies using digital assets. This development is seen as a major milestone in the adoption of blockchain for mainstream financial instruments.
