Kraken, Backed, and Solana Foundation collaborate to launch xStocks, a service offering tokenized U.S. equities on Solana's blockchain.
xStocks will be available initially to eligible users in select non-U.S. markets through the Kraken app, leveraging Solana's high-speed and low-cost infrastructure.
The choice of Solana underlines trust in its performance for financial products, facilitating borderless trading of tokenized equities in a decentralized manner.
Kraken's expansion with xStocks aims to enhance global accessibility to tokenized assets, potentially driving further adoption of DeFi and bridging traditional finance with blockchain markets.
