Bybit and Kraken have launched xStocks, a platform for trading tokenized stocks and ETFs on the Solana blockchain, enabling 24/7 on-chain equity trading. The initial offerings include major US equities such as Coinbase (COINX), Nvidia (NVDAX), SPY, GOOGL, MSTR, TSLA, and CRCL, with over 55 equities available at launch and plans for more listings. xStocks is powered by BackedFi and integrated across multiple Solana-based platforms including Raydium, Kamino, Byreal, Phantom, JupiterExchange, and KaminoFinance. The service is available in 190 countries, with US investors able to trade on Kraken, Bybit, and other supported platforms pending regulatory clearance on the Market Structure Bill. KuCoin has also added xStocks trading pairs such as SPYx/USDT and TSLAx/USDT, bridging traditional finance with Web3. An official xStocks dashboard on Dune provides real-time tracking of assets under management, transaction volumes, and unique holders. This development marks a significant step in democratizing access to capital markets through blockchain technology.
