Kraken Parent Payward Brings 200 UK and EU Stocks Onchain as xStocks

Payward, parent of Kraken, has tokenized more than 200 UK and EU stocks through its xStocks platform, including HSBC, Shell, LVMH and Airbus, with each token backed 1:1 by a share held by a regulated custodian. The tokens trade on Kraken and other xStocks Alliance platforms across Solana, Ethereum and TON, offered in more than 110 markets but unavailable to UK investors. The launch comes via a partnership with GTN, follows a planned LSE deal to tokenize the 100 largest London-listed companies, and xStocks now has over 1,500 tokenized assets and more than $1.1 billion in assets.
