What Are xStocks Tokenized Stocks?

xStocks are tokenized digital representations of real-world publicly traded company shares. These stocks, issued by third parties, aim to mirror the price of the corresponding real-world stocks either by issuing tokens backed by actual shares held with a licensed custodian, or structured via synthetic exposure (without holding the real-world stock).

This approach enables 24/7 trading, faster settlements, and crypto-native access to digital representation of equities, especially for non-U.S. users who face barriers with traditional stock trading.
