Sunrise announced the listing of tokenized BlackBerry stock on Solana on September 19, issued by Backpack. BB is the third NYSE-listed equity to go live on Solana via this infrastructure in 72 hours.
$BB is redeemable 1:1 for a traditional share of BlackBerry Limited (NYSE: BB) held in custody at Backpack Securities. Tokens are transferable to traditional brokerages, and the mechanism operates the same way as depositing or withdrawing a stablecoin, according to the Backpack Securities announcement. $BB is available for 24/7 trading on Raydium RAY$1.64+3.4% and across compatible Solana wallets, including Backpack, Jupiter, Phantom, and Solflare.
The canonical contract address, confirmed in a Sunrise reply post, is BBosJLw8ZzoATiEyywiifx7AgmrD2Cm3XjFWbhbRhChy.
BlackBerry's Software Business and the QNX Footprint
BlackBerry exited the handset market over a decade ago and now operates two divisions: QNX, which provides embedded software for automotive and industrial systems, and a secure communications platform. QNX software runs in more than 275 million vehicles, according to Raydium.
Third Tokenized Equity on Solana in 72 Hours
The $BB listing follows two others from the same Sunrise-Backpack Securities stack. Forward Industries' FWDI listed on September 17, and Cypherpunk Technologies' $CYPH followed on September 18. Each uses the same model: Backpack Securities holds the underlying shares as an SEC-registered broker-dealer, Sunrise provides the tokenization and market infrastructure on Solana, and Raydium handles DEX liquidity.
Raydium has processed more than $5 billion in tokenized stock volume this month, with September tracking toward a monthly on-chain equity record.
