COINTELEGRAPH IN YOUR SOCIAL FEED

Barcelona, Spain, September 2025 – SHIFT Stocks, pioneering fully-backed, permissionless tokenized stocks and ETFs value on-chain, has announced that SNZ Holdings will lead its $2 million seed round. This milestone follows a $400,000 pre-seed raise and positions SHIFT to accelerate its public launch.

SHIFT Stocks are the next generation of tokenized assets under Europe’s MiCAR framework. Unlike legacy security tokens with restrictive transfer controls, SHIFT’s Asset Referenced Tokens are classified as crypto assets, enabling 24/7 permissionless trading across DEXs, lending protocols, and centralized exchanges without broker-dealer limitations.

Veteran-led team and institutional stack

SHIFT Stocks is led by a team of seasoned operators from Titan, Flow Traders, Zaisan, Securitize, Kraken US, Cookie DAO, Deloitte, and McKinsey & Company. The company has established an institutional-grade compliance and custody framework with DekaBank and EY audits, combined with Chainlink Proof of Reserve for on-chain verification.

Robust roadmap toward launch

SHIFT’s roadmap includes the upcoming mainnet launch of SHIFT Stocks in Q4 2025, alongside farm incentives for LPs, CEX listings, and the introduction of new stock tokens focused on market demand. The team is also preparing a strategic and private round in Q4 2025 to expand liquidity and ecosystem adoption, with further milestones planned for 2026 including DeFi yield vaults and global licensing expansions.

Deep ecosystem integration on Solana

SHIFT has secured top-tier partnerships across the Solana network, including Orca, Kamino, Jupiter, MaxBid, and Chainlink, ensuring deep liquidity and composability within DeFi. The launch will also be supported by a robust liquidity incentive program designed to reward early LPs and market makers. SHIFT is aligning fundraising, LP onboarding, and community growth with major global industry gatherings to maximize reach and adoption.

Backing and strategic support

Alongside SNZ Holdings, SHIFT is supported by a strong network of strategic investors and partners, including Chainlink, Prim3VC, and other leading backers across the Web3 and institutional finance space. This coalition provides SHIFT not only with capital, but also with technical depth, liquidity partnerships, and market reach. By combining investment with deep ecosystem alignment, SHIFT Stocks is positioned to accelerate adoption of tokenized stocks and ETFs value and establish itself as a category leader in on-chain financial assets.
