Galaxy becomes the first Nasdaq-listed company to tokenize its shares on Solana, highlighting how equity markets are starting to move onchain. Galaxy Digital, the cryptocurrency investment firm founded by Mike Novogratz, has tokenized its publicly traded stock, positioning the shares for use within decentralized finance (DeFi) as institutional interest in tokenization grows.

Trades executed on Opening Bell will generate an instant record of ownership onchain. Read more
