OKX has launched its Unified Tokenized Stocks platform, listing more than 40 tokenized US stocks and ETFs that trade against the USDT stablecoin. The service excludes users from the United States and the European Union but targets regions such as Southeast Asia, Northeast Asia, the CIS, MENA, and Türkiye.
Single Order Book Model
Unlike other exchanges that list separate markets for each issuer's version of a stock, OKX consolidates all versions into a single market. This means all issuers' tokens for a given stock are pooled into one unified asset backed by multiple providers, starting with Backed Assets' xStocks. Each token is tied 1:1 to shares held in custody, ensuring every token is directly backed by actual stock.
For example, the ticker XNVDA on OKX reflects a token representing one real NVIDIA share, usable as collateral with dividends credited as balance increases. Trading happens 24/7 against USDT, with weekend prices based on the latest market close plus fair value estimates.
Market Access and Disclaimer
Eligible traders can access this tokenized stock market, except those in the US and EU. OKX clarifies that tokens are issued by third parties, offer price exposure only, and do not grant ownership or shareholder rights.
The launch enters a competitive space that includes Binance bStocks on BNB Chain and Kraken's xStocks on Ethereum. OKX shares the same underlying issuer, Backed Assets' xStocks, with several other platforms. The exchange claims it is the first global venue to offer this single market structure for multiple tokenized stock versions, aiming to reduce liquidity fragmentation common on other platforms.
