Solana's tokenized equity lineup adds a new name: SanDisk, the NAND flash and SSD maker, now available on-chain as $SNDK. The SOL Foundation announced the launch on June 24. Backpack Securities, a licensed brokerage, issues the token; Sunrise DeFi handles the on-chain infrastructure. Traders can buy and sell SNDK immediately inside major Solana apps like Jupiter and Raydium.
SanDisk Real Stock Goes On-Chain: No More Time Constraints
SanDisk designs and manufactures NAND flash storage and solid-state drives for data centers, edge computing, and consumer devices. SNDK represents a digitized share of the publicly traded US company. Unlike traditional US stock markets that close at 4 PM ET, SNDK trades 24/7 — even on weekends. This feature is critical for traders reacting to after-hours news or global events.
How It Works and Why It Matters
The playbook mirrors SPCX (SpaceX token), which saw over $86 million in volume on day one. Backpack handles compliance and asset custody; Sunrise DeFi provides on-chain settlement and liquidity. Users don't need a brokerage account — just a Solana wallet. SNDK can also be used as collateral in DeFi protocols like Kamino, unlocking further financial use cases.
Solana's push into tokenized equities has been building for weeks. Ondo Finance added 200+ tokenized stocks; Moody's put credit ratings on-chain; KG Inicis, South Korea's largest payment gateway, is building stablecoin checkout. SNDK fits into this growing ecosystem. Solana already hosts 97% of global tokenized equity trading volume.
What's Next: More Tokenized Stocks on the Way
Backpack CEO Armani Ferrante signaled that SPCX and SNDK are just the beginning. More digitized equities are in the pipeline. Each new listing brings volume, users, and credibility to Solana's on-chain equity market. As regulatory frameworks evolve, this sector is moving from experimentation to scale.
