Superstate Launches Direct Issuance for Tokenized Public Shares on Ethereum and Solana

The launch links token issuance to a registered transfer agent for real-time records with stablecoin settlement, with first offerings targeted for 2026.

Overview

  • SEC-registered public companies can now sell newly issued, on-chain equity directly to investor wallets, with payment in stablecoins and near-instant token delivery.
  • Shareholder records update in real time through Superstate’s SEC-registered transfer agent infrastructure, aligning on-chain transfers with official ownership books.
  • Galaxy Digital provides the first live model, having tokenized 32,374 GLXY shares on Solana as of early September 2025 under Superstate’s framework.
  • Secondary trading remains constrained under existing U.S. market rules, with no bespoke path for AMMs in NMS securities and broker/ATS permissions still required.
  • Distribution and infrastructure work is advancing, with Backpack preparing listings for tokenized equities, DTCC building tokenization services, and Nasdaq pursuing a path to support tokenized securities as early as 2026.
