Backpack Brings Tokenized BlackRock Shares to Solana
Backpack Securities has listed tokenized BlackRock shares on Solana, allowing users to trade them 24/7. The $BLK token is now live on the platform, giving Solana users a blockchain-native version of BlackRock shares.
The listing marks another step in Backpack's ambitious goal to support 10,000 symbols, covering a large slice of the US equity market. The company's CEO, Armani Ferrante, wants to create a single API that ties traditional brokerage functions to decentralized finance.
Backpack has already listed over 200 tokenized stocks, with more than $4.9 billion in trading volume recorded on Solana during the first half of 2026. The platform's tokens are built to work with wallet-to-wallet transfers and DeFi applications, offering flexibility for traders.
