This is the largest expansion of tokenized shares in the xStocks offering since their launch in June 2025. Payward, the parent company of Kraken, announced this Wednesday, November 11, 2026 the tokenization of more than 200 of the most traded stocks in the United Kingdom and the European Union. Previously, xStocks had focused almost exclusively on U.S.-listed securities.
In this first wave, we find European heavyweights like LVMH, Airbus, SAP, Shell, HSBC and Rolls-Royce. Each of these new xStock tokens remains backed 1:1 by the underlying stock, held by a regulated custodian. The new tokenized assets are available today on Kraken, and through the xStocks Alliance partner platforms.
On the infrastructure side, these new tokenized assets integrate directly into the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystems where xStocks is already present, notably Solana (SOL), Ethereum (ETH), TON (GRAM), Ink and even X Layer (OKB). Enough to offer 24/7 access to European securities which, on traditional stock exchanges, remain confined to limited opening hours.
An investment portfolio should have no boundaries or trading hours. We are building a single global marketplace where any investor will be able to own any listed company, regardless of address, currency or local broker. More than 200 British and European companies now available on-chain: proof that it works. Tokenization of all other international markets will be the next step.
Today, we're tokenizing 200+ equities listed in the UK and EU through our partnership with @GTNGlobal.

This expansion builds on a partnership between Payward Services and GTN, a fintech specializing in global brokerage infrastructure. GTN ensures the execution of orders as well as the custody of the traditional shares underlying each token issued. It is this architecture that has allowed Payward to tokenize and deploy hundreds of new stock assets.
Tokenization advances at the speed of the infrastructure that supports it. By combining GTN's global brokerage and custody infrastructure with the xStocks offering, we are opening UK and EU-listed stocks to a wider global audience. We believe the future of investing will be defined by greater accessibility, interoperability and efficiency, and this partnership shows how traditional and digital financial ecosystems can work together to make this future a reality at scale.
