- Superstate has introduced Direct Issuance Programs (DIPs) allowing SEC-registered public companies to raise capital on blockchain networks Ethereum and Solana.
- Investors can pay with stablecoins and receive tokenized shares instantly at market prices.
- The platform updates shareholder registries in real time through its SEC-registered transfer-agent infrastructure, ensuring compliance with securities laws.
- Offerings under this model are expected to start in 2026, providing issuers and investors faster settlement and potentially lower costs.
- DIPs expand on Superstate’s previous developments in tokenizing SEC-registered equities and align with growing tokenization trends on Ethereum and Solana.
Superstate, a financial technology firm, has launched Direct Issuance Programs (DIPs) to enable US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)-registered public companies to raise capital directly onchain. Announced in late 2025, the program allows issuers to offer shares on Ethereum and Solana blockchains. Investors pay using stablecoins and receive tokenized shares immediately at real-time market prices.
According to Jim Hiltner, co-founder and head of business development at Superstate, “The regulatory ability to directly issue registered shares isn’t new. What is new is that issuers can now conduct these offerings onchain, which changes what’s possible operationally and economically.” The system uses Superstate’s SEC-registered transfer-agent infrastructure to automatically update shareholder registries as tokenized shares transfer between verified wallets. This method maintains compliance with existing securities regulations while enabling instant settlement.
Any SEC-registered public company can file and run issuer-led primary offerings onchain through this model. Hiltner stated that Superstate’s infrastructure is live for program filings, with the first public company offerings expected to launch in 2026.
DIPs build on Superstate’s prior initiatives, including the May 2025 launch of Opening Bell, a platform for tokenizing and managing compliant onchain activity for SEC-registered equities. In September 2025, companies including SharpLink Gaming, a major public Ether holder, and Galaxy Digital announced plans to tokenize shares using Superstate’s transfer-agent services on Solana.
The release of DIPs coincides with broader industry trends in tokenized real-world assets (RWA), which had exceeded $24 billion on public blockchains by the third quarter of 2025. Ethereum and Solana account for more than half of this activity, supporting initiatives like Franklin Templeton’s expansion into multi-asset RWA platforms.
Hiltner explained that the DIP process allows companies to structure offerings under standard SEC registrations, receive stablecoin payments directly to corporate wallets, and distribute tokenized shares instantly to verified investors. Shareholder registries update in real time to maintain accurate ownership records. The system filters transactions, permitting only eligible investors to participate and blocking those who do not meet regulatory requirements.
This approach blends traditional financial regulation with blockchain’s instant settlement capabilities to support secure, compliant onchain capital market infrastructure.
