DKNG Launches on Solana via Sunrise, Issued by Backpack

Solana has announced that DKNG is now live on its network, distributed via Sunrise and issued by Backpack Securities, a launch that puts a tokenized-equity ticker on a fast-growing chain even as key details about holder rights and regulatory standing remain unconfirmed. The announcement was posted by the official Solana account on September 11, 2026, according to the Solana announcement on X. It names DKNG as the instrument, Solana as the network, Sunrise as the distribution venue and Backpack Securities as the issuer.

What the announcement does not do is establish an independent trading test, a verified mint address or a confirmed underlying share class.
