The rollout provides Telegram users with access to tokenized US stocks via a self-custodial wallet, but it will not be available in the US at launch.
Kraken-backed tokenized securities platform xStocks is launching on TON Wallet, a self-custodial wallet on the Telegram messenger.
Following an initial rollout on Wallet in Telegram, xStocks is now live on TON Wallet, marking the offering’s official launch on Telegram-linked blockchain, The Open Network (TON), Kraken announced Thursday.
“Launching xStocks on TON brings tokenized equities onto truly open infrastructure,” Kraken co-CEO Arjun Sethi said in the announcement, adding that the launch marks the first time for Telegram users to access tokenized US equities onchain.
