xStocks Tokenized Stock Trading Volume Surpasses $25 Billion

The trading volume of xStocks tokenized shares has reached $25 billion, according to the Kraken exchange. 

“In less than eight months since launch, the total transaction volume of xStocks has exceeded $25 billion. This amount includes operations on centralized and decentralized exchanges, as well as the issuance and redemption of tokens,” the platform’s blog states. 

Kraken added digital securities of Apple, Tesla, Nvidia, and 50 other companies for users in Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America at the end of June 2025. 

Each digital asset is backed by a share or a stake in an ETF at a 1:1 ratio through the exchange’s partner, the Swiss company Backed Finance. The trading platform is currently finalizing the acquisition of this company.

Initially, xStocks operated only on Solana. They are now also available on Ethereum, BNB Chain, and TON. 

The number of unique holders exceeds 81,000. The most popular stocks include Nvidia, Tesla, and the S&P 500.
