Backpack is turning Solana into a market where tokenized stocks can connect directly back to real shares “They have a brokerage now such that the shares are actually redeemable for the shares” “You can have encrypted securities trading” “This is the most usable, most battle tested system that still... allows for permissionless global access” mert highlights the combination of Backpack’s brokerage rails and Solana’s existing market infrastructure. Backpack 🎒-issued securities can move onchain while remaining redeemable 1:1 into their underlying shares. He views Solana’s liquidity, infrastructure and permissionless access as the foundation that lets stocks and other assets plug into the same onchain market. For Mert, Backpack adds the brokerage layer to a financial stack Solana has spent years building.show more

Backpack’s brokerage layer is the piece that makes Solana tokenized stocks more than a synthetic wrapper: if the tokens stay redeemable 1:1 for the underlying shares, they can sit in the same permissionless market as everything else already trading onchain. That still depends on the brokerage rails, custody, and redemption actually holding up under real volume, not just on Solana’s liquidity and infrastructure.

notice the 11 redemption claim

1:1 redemption into the real shares is the only tokenized-stock structure that survives a real redemption run. Anything without it is just a wrapper. Who eats the basis risk when every holder redeems at once?

What's the settlement source when a @Backpack stock token and its underlying share diverge? We built our whole system around that question.

Vibhu explains how Backpack 🎒 lets users turn tokenized stocks back into actual shares "Backpack is a full brokerage, so it's one-to-one. They seed liquidity, and if demand outweighs the supply onchain, they progressively buy more shares on the brokerage side and mint them onchain." "And you can redeem your tokenized equity for the actual share itself. They built an equity bridge that works on both sides. I can take my equity from my brokerage and move it onchain, or take it off, and it remains equity the entire time."

.Backpack 🎒 Securities brings real stocks onchain. Every share is bought through the U.S. brokerage system, then withdrawn onto Solana as a token that moves freely across the ecosystem. Deposit it back and it redeems one-to-one for the underlying security entitlement. What stablecoins did for dollars, Backpack is doing for stocks.

We’ve set the standard with Coinbase Tokenized Stocks. No synthetics or debt instruments, real fully-backed securities, redeemable for the underlying shares, with dividends integrated, and voting rights coming soon. That means access for global investors and institutions to the $70T+ US stock market built on a solid foundation.

As assets go onchain, liquidity should follow. Done right, tokenized stocks tap into the deep liquidity already available in traditional markets. “In an ideal world, when you buy tokenized Tesla onchain, you are getting the same price as you would get in a brokerage account.” Instead of creating a parallel market, Ondo Stocks taps into liquidity where it already exists. “There is just a user buying it at the liquidity that is available on Nasdaq or the New York Stock Exchange.” The right tokenization model pairs traditional market depth and pricing with the access, transferability, and utility of onchain finance.

Mert on physics, incentives, and what comes next: "Just building a network is extremely difficult. There's a reason people haven't been able to drastically surpass Solana's scale without taking all sorts of shortcuts." "From a physics perspective, this is the most usable, most battle tested system that still allows permissionless global access, entrepreneurs and users all coming to one place." "The next wave is onchain prediction markets, onchain tokenized equities, institutional payments and privacy."

i like Backpack’s positioning around tokenized stocks on SOL they took the slower route early, building out the exchange, compliance and regulatory infrastructure before pushing deeper onchain that foundation matters more as tokenized equities start scaling, especially when users want a tighter connection between onchain assets and the underlying stocks if tokenized stocks keep gaining traction on SOL, Backpack is one of the platforms i’m watching closely

🚨SEC OFFICIALLY GREENLIT TOKENIZED U.S. STOCK TRADING🚨 $XRP, $XLM and $HBAR have been building toward this moment for years. I went through the actual SEC order, and one detail changes how I look at all three. The SEC’s new five-year Innovation Exemption allows qualifying Tokenized Securities Venues to trade real tokenized U.S. stocks through permissioned AMMs and liquidity pools on public blockchains. These tokenized shares must preserve the rights of the underlying stock. But here is the part that matters for crypto. A tokenized U.S. stock can be paired with a non-security crypto asset. And the SEC specifically says the exemption does not limit which type of non-security crypto asset a venue can choose. Now go back six months. The SEC’s March interpretation explicitly listed: XRP XLM HBAR as examples of digital commodities. Read those two developments together. For the first time, I can look at a federal framework where a real tokenized U.S. stock and assets like XRP, XLM or HBAR can potentially exist on opposite sides of the same regulated onchain market. Think: Tokenized stock / XRP Tokenized stock / XLM Tokenized stock / HBAR The real opportunity is not a few network fees. It is liquidity. If a professional market maker supports one of those pools, it needs inventory of the paired asset. That is a completely different type of demand. And these three ecosystems have not been sitting around waiting for tokenization to arrive. Ripple and Aviva Investors are already exploring traditional fund tokenization on XRPL. XRPL has native trading infrastructure, AMMs, credentials, permissioning and tokenization tools. Stellar already hosts roughly $4B in tokenized assets, and DTCC/DTC plans to connect its tokenization service to Stellar, with Russell 1000 stocks, major ETFs and U.S. Treasuries among the asset classes being evaluated. Then Hedera already has Archax, with 100+ tokenized assets and $300M+ in value across names including Aberdeen, State Street, Fidelity International, Legal & General and BlackRock-related fund exposure. Lloyds Banking Group has already used tokenized assets on Hedera as collateral for FX activity. That is why this SEC move feels different to me. These networks spent years building the rails. Now U.S. regulation is starting to create an actual market structure where stocks can move onchain and non-security crypto assets can sit directly beside them as liquidity pairs. That is a much bigger story than “tokenization is bullish.” This is traditional securities liquidity and crypto liquidity beginning to meet. $XRP, $XLM and $HBAR are already standing at that intersection. Which digital commodity gets chosen for the first REAL tokenized-stock liquidity pair?

The comments come after Aron criticized Tenev on X last week following the platform's launch of a tokenized version of AMC shares. Tenev noted that the tokenized shares are one-to-one backed by underlying assets at the issuer, giving holders economic exposure.

Holding a tokenised stock just became something completely different. $ONDO just partnered with Broadridge Financial Solutions, the company that settles over $15 trillion in securities every single day and serves over 10,000 public companies as the backbone of global investor communications. Here is what this actually means. Until today, holding a tokenised stock onchain gave you price exposure. That was it. The voting rights, the governance participation, the shareholder communications that traditional investors take for granted, none of that transferred to the onchain wrapper. That gap was the strongest argument against tokenised equities being taken seriously as a real alternative to traditional stock ownership. That argument no longer exists. Holders of more than 250 Ondo tokenized stocks and ETFs can now: - Submit voting preferences for underlying shares - Review prospectuses - Access regulatory filings - Receive the same investor communications that traditional shareholders receive Through Broadridge's established infrastructure. Weighted proportionately by token ownership. Onchain token. Traditional shareholder rights. Simultaneously. This is Ondo's core design goal made real: tokenized stocks that meet every standard of traditional markets while adding everything blockchain infrastructure uniquely enables. 24/7 trading. Instant settlement. Permissionless access. Global reach. And now full governance participation. The numbers behind this announcement deserve to sit on their own line: $800 million in TVL across 250+ tokenized stocks. Roughly 70 percent total market share in tokenized equities. Available on Solana, Ethereum, and BNB Chain. Supported by Binance, Bitget, MetaMask, Ledger, and Blockchain․com. Ondo is not building toward dominance in tokenised equities. It already has it. This partnership with Broadridge is not a growth move. It is a maturity move, the difference between a crypto product that mimics traditional finance and an on-chain product that fully integrates with it. The last wall between tokenised stocks and real stocks just came down. The people who understood $ONDO before this announcement already know what it means for where this goes next. The people who read this and still wait for more confirmation will explain later why it was obvious all along.

And right now, we are in the early innings of this incredible transformation of global finance all around the world.” 01:47 24/7 trading with a bona fide security entitlement 24/7 trading began in crypto. But not all tokenized stocks represent the same asset or come with the same legal rights. “If you take a look at what the tokenized stock issuers are doing today... these properties might be different legal rights. They might be cash settled. And so they might be more akin to something like a CFD rather than an actual security entitlement.” “What we're doing is really for the first time opening up 24/7 trading for a genuine bona fide security entitlement.” “Markets will close on Friday in the US. And over the weekend, Saturday and Sunday, people through the Backpack brokerage will continue to trade and they'll get the exact same asset that you would expect from your neighborhood brokerage account.” 03:47 The world building on US capital markets “Jensen Huang from NVIDIA, he loves to say that the world needs to build on the American tech stack. But we don't talk enough about the world building on the US capital market. And that's really the thing that's happening with crypto right now.” 04:07 Stablecoins first. Tokenized equities next. “Maybe from a domestic point of view, a stablecoin is a story about efficiency, a story about upgrading the existing financial system. But when you look internationally, it's a very different story. It's a story about access. It's a story about the entire world wanting access to US dollars, even if they don't have access to local USD banking rails.” Circle and Tether have grown into major holders of US Treasuries. Backpack is bringing that same global access to tokenized US equities on Solana. “In the exact same way that US dollars have really been exported to the entire world and proliferated through the form factor of a stablecoin, we fully expect tokenization of US equities to have the exact same effect, but for publicly traded companies in the US all around the world.”

Ondo can say: Thank you very much. I’ve got a buyer on Ethereum.” Longer trading hours would deepen onchain liquidity while connecting exchanges with a broader base of global participants. “We have a user base and an ecosystem that actually demands 24/7 markets, contrary to most of their TradFi clients.” The closer exchanges move toward 24/7 trading, the more traditional market liquidity Ondo Stocks can bring onchain.

"The biggest catalyst for tokenized assets is being able to use them as collateral." Stani says non-US users can now borrow USDC against tokenized Apple, Tesla, and other big tech stocks 24/7 on Base "What's actually happening here is that this is an Aave market deployed on Base where you can use Coinbase tokenized stocks as collateral on Aave and borrow USDC. The collateral that can be used is tokenized versions of Apple, Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and Tesla." "For non-US users, you can actually borrow on a 24/7 basis, whether that's during trading hours, outside trading hours, or over the weekend, with efficient loan to value ratios and interest rates." "This is why I'm super excited, because we're entering into a world where we're using decentralized protocols and DeFi in the context of traditional assets that are coming onchain." "The reason why it's possible, from a technical point of view, is that now you actually have access to price feeds that are 24/7. With perpetual futures, a crypto native innovation, you actually have markets for stocks outside of typical trading hours." "You can use that data to price these assets as collateral outside of trading hours and over the weekend, and adjust parameters based on that data. That's why it's available today." "This is a significant milestone. It means we're able to bring more and more assets onchain and make them productive by using them as collateral."
