Powerus Corporation, a defense technology firm specializing in autonomous aerial and maritime systems, debuted on the Nasdaq Capital Market on October 1, 2026, following a merger with Aureus Greenway Holdings Inc. The company holds a defense contract for FPV aircraft worth $2.5 million and a long-term US Air Force contract for its Guardian-2 system, valued at up to $90 million through mid-2028.
On October 2, 2026, a tokenized version of Powerus stock, PUSA, launched on the Solana blockchain via Backpack Securities and the Sunrise platform. Each token is backed 1:1 by common stock held in custody, allowing holders to redeem the underlying shares. The tokenized asset recorded $8 million in trading volume within four hours, surpassing the volume of the Nasdaq-listed stock during the same period.
By the end of its first 24 hours of trading, the PUSA token reached a total volume of approximately $12 million. Unlike the Nasdaq, which operates during set business hours, the tokenized version trades continuously. Data indicates that 63% of trades for tokenized equities on Solana occur outside of traditional market hours.
