Wall Street sleeps. Solana doesn’t. And Kraken just turned US stocks into borderless, round-the-clock tokens.
Key Highlights:
- Kraken will launch xStocks, allowing tokenized 24/7 trading of major US stocks like Apple and Tesla on the Solana blockchain.
- Users outside the US can trade these assets directly via Kraken or compatible Solana wallets, even use them as onchain collateral.
Paradisers! What happens when US stocks no longer follow Wall Street’s hours—or borders? Kraken just made that question very real. In its latest bold move, the exchange is preparing to launch xStocks, a game-changing platform for tokenized US equities and ETFs tradable 24/7 via Solana.
Yes, you read that right. Apple, Tesla, Nvidia—as SPL tokens on-chain, available in your Solana wallet and tradable through Kraken, even on weekends. If you’re outside the US, the gates just swung wide open.
Stocks Go Blockchain—Finally
Built in partnership with tokenization firm Backed, xStocks turns familiar equities into digital tokens that live on Solana, meaning they can be traded, moved, or even used as collateral in DeFi applications.
This goes far beyond slow, centralized brokerage apps. According to Kraken’s Mark Greenberg, this isn’t just about convenience—it’s about breaking financial silos:
“xStocks is what the future of investing looks like.”
He’s not wrong. While Wall Street sticks to banker’s hours, Solana’s clock never stops ticking.
The Big Picture: The Tokenized Asset Race Is Heating Up
Kraken’s xStocks follows its acquisition of NinjaTrader and recent expansion into traditional equity trading—but xStocks is the version that’s truly borderless, open, and programmable.
The move lands as interest in real-world asset (RWA) tokenization is surging, with players like BlackRock, Franklin Templeton, and JPMorgan already making blockchain-native moves. But Kraken’s edge? It just put the retail trader first—onchain, globally, and without delay.
Don’t Wait for a Launch Date to Get Ready
We’ll be deep-diving into how xStocks could disrupt brokerages, open new DeFi use cases, and shift RWA capital flows into Solana in our YouTube stream. And we’ll break down which assets might moon once stocks go 24/7.
For just $3/month, you can unlock our full RWA forecast, tokenized equity rotation map, and front-run the next big inflow wave with ParadiseFamilyVIP.
That’s cheaper than a commission fee on a broker that’s closed on weekends—and let’s be honest, less painful than FOMOing into tokenized Tesla after it’s up 40% on a Sunday morning.
Join now. Because stocks just went 24/7—and your edge shouldn’t still be sleeping.
