Payward xStocks lists 200 UK and EU stocks, surpasses $45 billion in trading volume

Payward xStocks, a division of Payward and parent company to the cryptocurrency exchange Kraken, has extended its global reach by adding more than 200 tokenized UK and European stocks to its portfolio. The expanded list now features major corporations such as HSBC, Shell, LVMH, and Airbus, pushing Payward’s total asset selection to over 1,500. The latest initiative marks Payward’s move beyond US-listed tokenized equities. Through a partnership with GTN, a global brokerage infrastructure provider, the company is now offering digital tokens fully backed 1:1 with the underlying shares held in custody. The first rollout targets high-volume, actively traded firms from UK and European markets. These tokenized assets can be accessed via Kraken as well as other trading platforms participating in the xStocks Alliance.
