About XStocks
XStocks is a decentralized finance platform enabling anyone in the world to access fractional ownership of real-world stocks through blockchain technology. We bridge the gap between traditional financial markets and the open, permissionless world of DeFi.
Our Mission
XStocks was founded on a simple but powerful idea: everyone deserves access to the world's best investment opportunities, regardless of geography, wealth, or background. Traditional stock markets are gated by brokers, banking infrastructure, and regulatory barriers that exclude billions of people from participating in global economic growth.
By tokenizing real-world equities on public blockchains, XStocks makes it possible to hold a fraction of Tesla, Apple, NVIDIA, or the S&P 500 index in a self-custodied crypto wallet — no broker required, no minimum investment, no office hours. The financial system, reimagined for the internet age.
Full Asset Backing
Every xStock token is fully backed 1:1 by real underlying securities held in regulated custodial accounts. Your tokens represent genuine economic exposure to the asset.
24/7 Trading
Unlike traditional stock exchanges that close on weekends and holidays, XStocks tokens can be transferred and traded around the clock on supported blockchain networks.
Proof of Reserves
Transparency is core to XStocks. On-chain proof of reserves allows anyone to independently verify that token supply matches the real assets held in custody at all times.
Fractional Ownership
Invest any amount. Fractional tokenization means you can own a piece of high-value stocks like Amazon or Google with as little as a few dollars.
Self-Custody
Your assets live in your own wallet. XStocks tokens are standard blockchain tokens you hold with your own private keys — no third party can freeze or confiscate them.
Multi-Chain Bridge
Move your xStock tokens seamlessly between Ethereum, Solana, TON, and Ink networks using the built-in bridge — trade where liquidity suits you best.
How XStocks Works
When a user purchases an xStock token, Backed Finance AG — the regulated entity behind the product — purchases the corresponding real stock on a traditional exchange and holds it in a segregated custody account. The token is then minted on-chain and sent to the user's wallet.
Redemption works in reverse: tokens are burned and the underlying security is sold, with proceeds returned to the holder. This mechanism ensures every token is always backed by a real asset.
Regulatory Framework
XStocks operates within the framework established by Backed Finance AG, a Swiss-based company operating under applicable financial regulations. The underlying securities are held by regulated custodians, and the token structure complies with relevant financial instruments directives.
Users are required to complete appropriate compliance checks before minting or redeeming tokens directly. Secondary market trading of xStock tokens is available through supported DeFi protocols and exchanges.
