xStocks Surpasses $1 Billion in AUM as Tokenized Markets Go Global
From 60 tokenized U.S. equities at launch to more than 1,500 global assets today, xStocks is helping build the infrastructure for a new era of global capital markets.
xStocks has officially surpassed $1 billion in assets under management (AUM), marking a major milestone in the growth of tokenized financial markets.
It’s a significant moment for a category-defining ecosystem that launched in June 2025 with just 60 tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs. Today, xStocks spans more than 1,500 tokenized representations of stocks, ETFs and IPOs across equities lists in the U.S., UK, European and Hong Kong markets.
The pace of growth has been remarkable. In February 2026, xStocks AUM stood at approximately $225 million. Less than nine months later, that figure has more than quadrupled.
But the significance of this milestone goes beyond the numbers. It reflects growing global demand for financial assets that aren’t confined to a single exchange, platform or geography. Assets that can be held, transferred and put to work across an interconnected onchain financial system.
And with xStocks currently unavailable to investors in the U.S., UK and certain other markets, this growth highlights the scale of international demand for tokenized exposure to global capital markets.
$1 Billion Is Just the Beginning
Tokenization is moving beyond its early experimental phase and becoming an increasingly important part of financial market infrastructure.
By bringing fully collateralized, 1:1-backed representations of publicly traded assets onchain, xStocks enables trading platforms, financial applications and DeFi protocols to offer exposure to global equities through a common, interoperable framework.
That means investors can do more than simply buy and hold tokenized stocks. They can transfer assets between supported platforms, use them within DeFi protocols and engage with financial markets through applications that fit their needs.
“A billion dollars is a milestone on the path to something much larger. The opportunity ahead is measured in the trillions as entire capital markets move onchain and tokenization extends to every kind of asset,” said Val Gui, General Manager of xStocks. “Our ambition is to make xStocks the universal standard for bringing real-world assets onchain, then give people easy ways to reach those assets in the apps they already use. Anyone, wherever they are, should be able to hold a global range of assets from the palm of their hand.”
