Micron Technology’s Tokenized Stock Arrives on Solana Following Success of SPCX
According to the official announcement, Micron shares are now available in a tokenized form. The announcement comes 2 days ahead of the chipmaker’s fiscal third-quarter earnings report. The company is expected to unveil the report on June 24.
The tokenized MU stock is backed by a 1:1 ratio of actual Micron shares, which will be held in regulated custody. Users will be able to withdraw the MU token for the underlying shares through the Backpack exchange. They can also transfer them to traditional brokerage accounts, which will help them to own shares directly instead of just focusing on synthetic price tracking. These tokenized shares of Micron Technology will allow users to hold in self-custodian wallets like Backpack, Phantom, and Solflare. Also, users can trade these tokens at any time on Solana’s decentralized exchanges.
The issuance of MU tokenized stock comes a week after Backpack Securities and Sunrise used the same model for SpaceX’s tokenized stock, SPCX, which went live on the Solana blockchain the same day as its arrival on Nasdaq.
The timing of the tokenized version of MU stock’s arrival on Solana is also important, as Micron will release its earnings report on June 24. While trading on Nasdaq has limitations like fixed timing, tokenized stocks will allow users to trade these digital tokens at any time of the day.
Tokenized Equities Market Soars Following Regulatory Clarity around RWAs
The launch of MU tokenized stock is a part of the latest trend of bringing U.S. equities on-chain, with Backpack Securities providing the regulated brokerage infrastructure, while Sunrise is helping companies to convert stocks into a tokenized version and liquidity distribution. The asset is integrated with Solana DeFi, which allows users to trade against USDC or SOL through liquidity pools on platforms like Meteora.
After the launch of SpaceX’s SPCX stock on the Solana blockchain, it has witnessed a strong demand as single-day trading volumes have surpassed more than $100 million. The success of SPCX has helped the total 24-hour spot trading volume for all tokenized equities on Solana to record highs, reaching between $187 million and $213 million.
Amid the growing regulatory clarity around tokenized equities and adoption of tokenized assets among institutional investors, the distributed value of tokenized stocks has soared above $1.53 billion, according to rwa.xyz. The overall real-world assets sector has also soared above $32 billion. Solana holds an impressive position with around $3 billion in RWA value and leads in tokenized equities trading volume.
According to Citigroup, the tokenized asset market is expected to reach $8 trillion by 2030.
Micron Technology Shares Grow Amid Boom in AI Infrastructure and Strong Growth in Revenue
Micron Technology is a leading global semiconductor company that provides memory and storage solutions, including DRAM, NAND, and NOR chips. These components are important for computers, smartphones, data centers, and artificial intelligence. The company is the world’s leading provider of memory chips alongside Samsung and SK Hynix.
In its fiscal report for Q2 of 2026, Micron reported revenue of $23.86 billion, with GAAP net income of $13.9 billion and earnings per share of $12.07. This was the record-breaking revenue in the company’s history, thanks to the boom in the AI sector. The company’s high-bandwidth memory (HBM) supply for the entire 2026 year is already sold out. Micron’s management team has mentioned strong demand for HBM as it is only capable of fulfilling 50% to two-thirds of memory orders for its main customers.
On June 22, Micron revealed a major partnership with Anthropic, which is the creator of the Claude AI model. This partnership includes collaboration on AI memory and storage architecture, a multi-year supply deal, enterprise adoption of Claude at Micron, and others.
With the growing demand for Micron’s infrastructure in the AI sector, TD Cowen has increased its 12-month target for MU stock from $660 to $1,500.
