Why is this important
Интеграция позволит пользователям Telegram инвестировать в реальные акции прямо из мессенджера, снижая барьеры между крипто- и традиционными рынками. Это один из крупнейших потребительских запусков токенизированных ценных бумаг.
What happened
- In the “Promotions and ETF” section of Wallet, you will have the opportunity to trade around the clock (five days a week).
- Partnering with Kraken and Backed allows you to offer over 60 tokenized stocks and ETFs (Apple, Tesla, S&P 500, etc.).
- First, the sale will be available in the custodial version of Wallet, later — in non-custodial TON-wallets.
- The xStocks platform has already shown turnovers exceeding $4.5 billion in centralized and decentralized markets.
What they say
Developers are creating solutions that are impossible on traditional routes, and access to such features from one of the most popular applications is a breakthrough, — comments Backed’s co-founder Adam Levi.
Context
Asset tokenization is an important trend in the transition of traditional markets to a blockchain environment. Kraken is already expanding xStocks through Trust Wallet, but in American jurisdictions, such tokens are not available to everyone due to regulatory restrictions. For now, the tokenized stock market remains small compared to traditional markets, but implementation through Telegram could significantly accelerate growth.
