xStocks

xStocks are going live today.

This is the next step for crypto: over 50 tokenized stocks on Kraken, Bybit and Solana, a trading experience with global accessibility and the speed of the blockchain.

We’re proud to have Bybit as the newest member of the xStocks Alliance, allowing its users to access tokenized equities and ETFs 24/7. The integration enhances Bybit’s asset offerings and allows users to engage with global equity markets using the same tools they already use for digital assets. Bybit joins Kraken in listing these assets in over 190 countries across the world.
From newly launched tickers like $CRCLx and $DFDVx to well-known names like $COINx and $MSTRx or blue-chip giants such as $NVDAx, $MSFTx and more, xStocks are DeFi-ready from day one. They’re integrated with leading Solana protocols, offering a seamless UX for cryptonatives and a groundbreaking experience for retail investors.

Later today, users can trade on Kamino, Solana’s top money market. Lending is rolling out as liquidity increases. Liquidity providers can earn fees and incentives through Raydium, the largest DEX on Solana. Traders can use Jupiter, the go-to decentralized liquidity aggregator on Solana, to get competitive prices for tokenized stocks, or get xStocks directly through Phantom, Solana’s most popular wallet. Available today via these platforms will be SPYx, APPLx, NVDAx, TSLAx, METAx, GOOGLx, COINx, QQQx, CRCLx, MSTRx - with many more coming soon.

Make sure you verify any CAs on the xStocks product page, xstocks.com/products. xStocks tokens are verified on Kamino & Jupiter.

xStocks are a neutral, public-good asset class. Through the efforts of the xStocks Alliance, joined by Backed, Bybit, Kraken, Solana, Alchemy Pay and others, they will continue to expand to more chains and exchanges.

We’re excited to announce that xStocks will utilize the lighting fast brokerage infrastructure provided by Alpaca. This means xStocks will deliver a seamless experience between traditional and decentralized markets.

Alpaca is a modern brokerage platform that provides access to financial markets through developer-friendly APIs.

This allows Backed to execute xStocks orders faster, meaning exchanges and market makers can provide a better user experience both through centralized platforms and within DeFi. xStocks will be available to mint and redeem 24/5 via a fully automated flow for our onboarded exchange and market making partners.

Backed issues xStocks to regulated entities, which in turn offer these assets to end users. Having efficient, fast brokerage infrastructure ultimately means that end users will experience less slippage, lower fees, deeper liquidity, and tighter spreads.

We’re proud to announce that Alchemy Pay, the global fiat-crypto payment gateway, has officially joined the xStocks Alliance—a growing network of industry leaders bringing real-world assets onchain.

Alchemy Pay will integrate Backed’s xStocks directly into its Real-World Asset (RWA) platform.

This integration unlocks seamless fiat access to tokenized equities across over 170 countries and 50+ fiat currencies, so users can directly access a growing portfolio of tokenized stocks—including Apple, Tesla, SPY, and NVIDIA—using local fiat payment methods.

Their participation further validates xStocks’ vision of building a neutral, public-good asset layer for programmable finance—designed to be composable across chains, platforms, and user interfaces.
