Payward has launched more than 200 UK and European tokenised equities, expanding xStocks beyond 1,500 assets.
The rollout marks the first phase of Payward Services’ tokenisation partnership with GTN, covering two major capital markets.
“A portfolio should not have borders or trading hours,” according to Payward Chief Commercial Officer Mark Greenberg.
Each token receives 1:1 backing through purchases of corresponding shares held by regulated custodians.
Investors can access the new tokens through Kraken and supporting platforms across Solana (SOL), Ethereum (ETH), TON and other networks.
The expansion follows Payward’s partnership with the London Stock Exchange, which plans to list xStocks in 2027, subject to regulatory approval.
Since launching in June 2025, xStocks has surpassed $45 billion in transaction volume, with $1.1 billion under management and 550,000 holders.
The expansion brings European equities to global blockchain markets, while UK residents remain excluded from xStocks access.
