Key Takeaways:
xStocks has launched its tokenized stock platform on the BNB Chain, making over 50 U.S. stocks and ETFs available for trading on decentralized exchanges, the company announced on April 30.
"Tokenized stocks can now be traded directly on PancakeSwap and CowSwap, with 1inch integration coming soon," according to an official announcement from BNB Chain. These assets can also be used as collateral for lending and in structured yield strategies, with further integrations planned for Chainlink, Venus Protocol, and Flux.
The initial offering includes shares of major companies like Apple, Tesla, and Nvidia, alongside the S&P 500 ETF. The platform supports fractional participation with a minimum of just $10 and offers nearly continuous trading 24 hours a day, five days a week. In the coming weeks, xStocks plans to add more than 100 additional assets to the platform.
The launch represents a significant expansion of the Real World Asset (RWA) ecosystem on the BNB Chain, which has grown to become the second-largest public chain for RWAs with $3.8 billion in on-chain assets. This move bridges traditional financial markets with decentralized finance, allowing users to gain exposure to equities within the crypto ecosystem without the geographic or time-based restrictions of conventional stock trading.
