Kraken, a prominent crypto exchange that has faced legal challenges from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) over its digital asset offerings, is making a bold move into tokenized securities. The exchange announced plans to offer tokenized versions of over 50 U.S. stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs), including shares of major companies like Apple, Tesla, and Nvidia, to customers outside the United States.
In collaboration with Backed¡ªa firm specializing in blockchain-based financial assets¡ªKraken will tokenize these assets on the Solana blockchain under the product name “xStocks.” The tokens will trade 24/7, providing global investors with round-the-clock access to traditional equities in a crypto-native format. Each token will represent real shares held by Backed Finance and can be redeemed 1:1 for their cash value.
The xStocks lineup includes popular ETFs such as the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY), which tracks the S&P 500 index, and the SPDR Gold Shares (GLD). This initiative marks Kraken¡¯s first step into offering tokenized equities globally, targeting regions such as Europe, Latin America, Africa, and Asia. Notably, the service will not be available to U.S. customers, who already have access to over 11,000 traditional stocks and ETFs through Kraken Securities via a conventional brokerage model.
Kraken¡¯s decision to launch xStocks comes amid growing interest in asset tokenization, a process that converts real-world assets into blockchain tokens. The tokenization market has gained significant traction, with pioneers like Ondo Finance, BlackRock, and Franklin Templeton driving the industry to a $65 billion market cap as of May. Robinhood and other platforms are also exploring similar ventures, but Kraken stands out as the first exchange to successfully offer tokenized shares of major U.S. stocks.
This development places Kraken in direct competition with platforms like Robinhood while distinguishing it from Binance, which attempted to tokenize U.S. equities in 2021 but abandoned the effort due to regulatory uncertainty. A Kraken spokesperson told the Wall Street Journal that the exchange is ¡°actively working with various regulators¡± to ensure compliance with local laws, as regulations surrounding tokenized assets vary across jurisdictions.
The move reflects broader trends within the financial industry, as both crypto-native firms and traditional financial giants increasingly embrace blockchain technology. With U.S. lawmakers and the Trump administration showing a warmer stance toward crypto infrastructure, Kraken is seizing the opportunity to expand its offerings and cement its role as a leader in the evolving landscape of digital finance.

So far our investigation has been analytical. We have seen Plotinus acquire, one after another, the elements out of which his system has still to be constructed. The first step was to separate spirit from matter. They are respectively distinguished as principles of union and of division. The bodies given to us in experience are a combination of the two, a dispersion of form over an infinitely extended, infinitely divisible, infinitely changeful substratum. Our own souls, which at first seemed so absolutely self-identical, present, on examination, a similarly composite character. A fresh analysis results in the separation of Nous or Reason from the lower functions of conscious life. And we infer by analogy that the soul in Nature bears the same relation to a transcendent objective Nous. Nous is essentially pure self-consciousness, and from this self-consciousness the world of Ideas is developed. Properly speaking, Ideas are the sole reality: sensible forms are an image of them impressed on matter through the agency of the world-soul. But Nous, or the totality of Ideas, though high, is not the highest. All that has hitherto occupied us, Nature, Soul, and Reason, is316 pervaded by a fundamental unity, without which nothing could exist. But Soul is not herself this unity, nor is Reason. Self-consciousness, even in its purest expression, involves a duality of object and subject. The notion of Being is distinct from the notion of oneness. The principle represented by the latter, as the cause of all things, must itself transcend existence. At the same time, it is revealed to us by the fact of our own personal identity. To be united with oneself is to be united with the One. ¡°What?¡± She was strong, slender as she was, and she freed herself almost without effort. And yet he would not be warned. "Don't you love me?" he insisted, as though she had not already made it plain enough. "Don't be cross, Maria," pleaded Annabel. "I didn't know nothin' of it. You know I've been down to see the Robinses, and intended to stay till tomorrer, but something moved me to come home today, and I just happened to take this train. I really didn't know. Yet," and the instinctive rights of her womanhood and her future relations with Si asserted themselves to her own wonderment, "I had what the preachers call an inward promptin', which I felt it my dooty to obey, and I now think it came from God. You know I ought to be with Si as soon as anybody," and she hid her face in her hands in maidenly confusion. trouble. Send down a detail at once for Shorty Elliott, Co. Wilson's first instructions were as to Shorty's personal appearance. He must get a clean shave and a hair-cut, a necktie, box of paper collars, a pair of white gloves, have blouse neatly brushed and buttoned to his throat and his shoes polished. As soon as he saw that he was likely to remain at Headquarters for some time. Shorty became anxious about that letter from Sammy, and after much scheming and planning, he at last bethought himself of the expedient of having the Chief Clerk write an official letter to Sam Elkins, the postmaster and operator at Bean Blossom Creek Station, directing him to forward to Headquarters any communications addressed to Corp'l Elliott, 200th Ind. Vols., and keep this matter a military secret. "Well, I have stirred up a yaller-jacket's nest for sure," thought Shorty, rather tickled at the odds which were arrayed against him. "But I believe I kin handle 'em until either the train pulls out or the boys hear the ruction and come to my help." She felt that he would come¡ªhe would return to her in the reaction that swung him from Rose. But would she be able to keep him? She did not feel so sure of that¡ªfor that did not depend on her or on him, but on that mysterious force outside themselves with which they had both already struggled in vain. It was only lately that her longing for love and freedom had become a torment. Up till a year or two ago her desires had been merely wistful. Now a restless hunger gnawed at her heart, setting her continually searching after change and brightness. She had come to hate her household duties and the care of the little boys. She wanted to dance¡ªdance¡ªdance¡ªto dance at fairs and balls, to wear pretty clothes, and be admired and courted. Why should she not have these things? She was not so ugly as many girls who had them. It was cruel that she should never have been allowed to know a man, never allowed to enjoy herself or have her fling. Even the sons of the neighbouring farmers had been kept away from her¡ªby her father, greedy for her work. Tilly, by a lucky chance, had found a man, but lucky chances never came to Caro. She saw herself living out her life as a household drudge, dying an old maid, all coarsened by uncongenial work, all starved of love, all sick of, yet still hungry for, life. "And is this your present?¡ªWhat is your name?" "But, take care," said Margaret, "that you say not whom it is for." But Margaret was many minutes ere she could do more than kiss his hand, and wet it with her tears. At length, when her emotions of joy and surprise had in some degree subsided, she replied, that Holgrave was still living a villein at Sudley. HoMExiao77av
