Securitize shares drop 38% after launching tokenized stocks on Solana
Securitize shares fell 38% since its October 8 launch of 12 tokenized U.S. stocks on Solana, with the stock trading at $7.81 on Thursday.
Why it matters
The share decline suggests market skepticism about revenue potential from tokenized equities, while the launch represents a notable step in bringing traditional stocks onchain for eligible investors.
