According to the company’s statement, users will be able to access more than 7,000 US shares and exchange-traded funds, including the option to purchase fractional shares. A separate initiative will be the issuance of bStocks digital tokens, backed by individual shares and ETFs.
The launch of such instruments reflects the financial sector’s growing interest in the tokenisation of real-world assets (RWAs). This technology allows traditional financial instruments to be represented on the blockchain whilst maintaining their economic link to the underlying asset. Experts view tokenisation as one of the possible stages in the transformation of financial markets, which could make investment instruments more accessible and simplify transactions involving them.
In recent years, the topic of tokenisation has been actively explored by banks, investment firms and financial regulators worldwide. The development of such solutions is linked to the digitalisation of financial infrastructure and the emergence of new methods of trading securities.
At the same time, access to new instruments will be restricted by the legal requirements of individual countries. In particular, these products will not be available to US citizens and residents.
