OKX to list Unified Tokenized Stocks xSHEIN, xKORU and more for spot trading
OKX has launched Unified Tokenized Stocks, a new product offering users 24/7 spot trading exposure to traditional equities and ETFs. These assets, identified by an 'X' prefix such as XAAPL or XTSLA, are powered by the xStocks framework developed by Payward. The platform consolidates tokenized versions of the same underlying stock from multiple providers into a single order book to improve liquidity. Trading occurs against USDT pairs, allowing users to utilize existing crypto strategy bots like Grid and DCA for automated equity exposure. While these tokens provide price tracking and automatic dividend reinvestment, they do not confer actual shareholder rights or ownership of the underlying companies. The assets are supported on both the Solana and X Layer blockchains, enabling deposits and withdrawals outside of traditional market hours. This development marks a significant expansion in the accessibility of traditional financial instruments within the crypto ecosystem, though it remains restricted for U.S. persons.
