Key Highlights:
  • Galaxy Digital is tokenizing its Nasdaq-listed GLXY shares on Solana.

  • Initiative launched via Superstate’s Opening Bell platform.

  • First instance of SEC-registered shares issued directly onchain.

Unlocking Liquidity

The tokenized shares will eventually be tradable on Automated Market Makers (AMMs) and DeFi platforms, giving investors more liquidity and utility. Only KYC-approved investors will have access at first.

Industry First

Superstate said this is the first time SEC-registered public company shares are being issued directly on a blockchain, rather than wrapped or synthetic versions. Each token transaction updates the official shareholder list in real time, bridging crypto infrastructure with traditional finance.
