Where to Buy Tokenized Stocks in 2026: Platforms Compared

Last Updated: November 13, 2026

As of November 6, 2026, U.S. residents can buy tokenized stocks mainly through regulated broker apps such as Dinari and Securitize Stocks. Binance, Kraken, Ondo, Robinhood and Coinbase say their tokenized stocks are not offered in the U.S. or to U.S. persons. On November 4, TSV LLC hosted the first trades under the SEC’s Innovation Exemption, in Canton Strategic Holdings (CNTN) shares, but only approved participants can trade there.

Update, November 13: OKX says its OKXICE venue will open to eligible U.S. customers on November 23, with more than 70 tokenized assets, including 59 Direxion ETFs. On November 11, Binance began selling bStocks for up to 49 fiat currencies, and Payward added more than 200 UK- and EU-listed stocks to xStocks.

Outside the U.S., eligible buyers can use exchanges such as Binance (bStocks), Kraken, Bybit and OKX (xStocks) and Bitget. They can also use self-custody wallets that hold Ondo Stocks, Robinhood Stock Tokens and Coinbase-issued tokens on Base. In the EU, Robinhood Europe also sells Classic Stock Tokens, while Kraken, Bybit and Robinhood’s Stock Tokens exclude the U.K.

Tokenized stocks were worth about $3.73 billion across 4.78 million holders on November 9, according to the rwa.xyz tracker. That day, NYSE said it had chosen Avalanche to settle trades on its planned 24/7 tokenized stock platform.

Blockchainreporter’s verdict, November 6, 2026: your country decides where you can buy. Eligible U.S. investors can use Dinari or Securitize Stocks, both run through registered broker-dealers, and TSV LLC’s new venue admits approved participants only. Elsewhere, Binance’s bStocks hold the most value and Kraken lists 131 xStocks, while Ondo Stocks and Coinbase’s tokens on Base work with self-custody wallets. Most offshore tokens are certificates or claims, not shares.

Where to buy tokenized stocks, by type (checked October 28 to November 6, 2026):

• Crypto exchanges, outside the U.S.: Binance added five more bStocks pairs, including AppLovin (APPB) and GE Vernova (GEVB), on October 28, according to its announcement page. Kraken’s xStocks help page, updated September 18, lists 131 xStocks for eligible clients in more than 110 countries. Bybit’s xStocks FAQ, updated October 23, excludes a long list of countries, including Australia, Japan, the U.K. and every EEA country.
• Self-custody wallets, outside the U.S.: Base’s official stock page lists 10 Coinbase-issued tokens, offered only outside the U.S. Ondo says Ondo Stocks cover more than 470 stocks and ETFs, sold through wallets such as Ledger, MetaMask and Trust Wallet. Robinhood said on October 27 that Robinhood Chain, home of its Stock Tokens, became a top-five chain by revenue and volume in its first quarter on mainnet.
• Broker apps for eligible U.S. investors: Dinari says its dShares are available in the U.S. and 91 other jurisdictions. Securitize Stocks lists 26 tickers, traded through Securitize Markets, a FINRA member broker-dealer.
• EU broker app: Robinhood Europe sells Classic Stock Tokens, which its support page describes as MiFID II derivatives with a €1 minimum and a 0.10% currency fee.

Tokenized Stock Platforms at a Glance

Sources: each platform’s official product, help or announcement page on the date shown; rwa.xyz for counts where the platform gives none. Availability and fees change often, so confirm them on the platform before you sign up.

Key Takeaways

• U.S. investors: Dinari and Securitize Stocks remain the main live options for eligible U.S. buyers. xStocks, Binance’s bStocks, Ondo Stocks, Robinhood Stock Tokens and Coinbase’s tokens on Base are not offered to U.S. persons, according to the providers.
• First U.S. onchain trades: TSV LLC hosted the first trades under the SEC’s Innovation Exemption on November 4, in issuer-sponsored Canton Strategic Holdings (CNTN) shares, open only to approved participants. OKXICE has not launched yet: its November 4 notice listed 62 companies that objected to having their shares listed there, and on November 11 OKX set a November 23 opening date.
• Market size: tokenized stocks were worth about $3.69 billion on November 6, up about 3% from $3.58 billion on November 2, according to rwa.xyz. Binance’s bStocks, Ondo and xStocks hold about 80% of that value.
• Ownership differs: some tokens are real shares or claims on shares held for you, while bStocks, xStocks, Ondo Stocks and Robinhood’s tokens are certificates, notes or derivatives that track the price, and their issuers say they are not shares.
• Dividends: most offshore products reinvest dividends instead of paying cash; Binance, for example, said holders at its October 27 snapshot would receive ASML and Nokia dividends as more bStocks, not cash.
• Check the contract address: fake tokens circulate, so buy only tokens on the issuer’s official list.

Latest Changes (October and November 2026)

Can U.S. Investors Buy Tokenized Stocks?

Yes, but only through a small number of regulated providers. SEC staff said in January 2026 that tokenized securities are still securities. Offshore issuers such as Binance and Coinbase say their tokens are not registered in the U.S. or are offered under Regulation S, and exclude U.S. persons, while the live U.S. options run through a registered broker-dealer or transfer agent.

Dinari

Dinari opened 724 tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs, including the whole S&P 500, to eligible U.S. individuals and businesses on August 4, 2026. Its U.S. site says dShares “are available in the US and 91 jurisdictions worldwide.” U.S. accounts are held through Dinari Securities LLC, a registered broker-dealer.

Dinari says each dShare is backed 1:1 by a share held in qualified custody, and its U.S. documentation names Alpaca Securities as its clearing firm. Buyers fund their account with USDC or by bank transfer, either in the Dinari app or through partner apps. Dinari says dividends are paid in USDC.

Dinari’s U.S. documentation says tokens issued to U.S. customers are currently non-transferable and cannot be used in DeFi protocols. So they behave more like a brokerage position recorded onchain than a freely tradable crypto token. Dinari has also partnered with tZERO on a platform that lets other broker-dealers offer tokenized stocks.

Securitize Stocks

Securitize Stocks launched on Solana on October 8, 2026 with 12 large U.S. stocks and added 13 more on November 2, including Exxon Mobil, Disney, Johnson & Johnson and Uber. Its site listed 26 tickers on November 6, including Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Tesla, Palantir, Circle and Securitize’s own shares (SECZ). Each token is a security entitlement backed 1:1 by a real share, with dividends and voting passed through where applicable.

U.S. accounts are opened through Securitize Markets, a FINRA and SIPC member broker-dealer. EU investors are served by Securitize Europe Brokerage and Markets, a Spanish firm supervised by the CNMV. Trades settle in USDC from the buyer’s own wallet.

Securitize says its “investors” are typically accredited investors where applicable, so check eligibility before signing up. Our report on the Securitize Stocks launch has the details.

Issuer-Sponsored Shares

A few companies have put their own shares onchain. Superstate‘s Opening Bell platform records SEC-registered shares of Galaxy (GLXY) and Forward Industries (FWDI) on Solana. They are available to verified, allowlisted wallets, with Superstate acting as the registered transfer agent.

Canton Strategic Holdings (CNTN) has gone a step further. On November 4, its issuer-sponsored tokenized shares became the first U.S. stock traded under the SEC’s Innovation Exemption, on TSV LLC’s venue on the Canton Network. Its SEC-registered transfer agent, Fairmint TA, keeps the official ownership record and the list of verified holders.

Ondo Finance also introduced a U.S. custodial structure on July 2, 2026, with tokenized versions of the iShares Core S&P 500 ETF and Micron on Ethereum. It described this as a foundation for wider access for U.S. investors. Its main Ondo Stocks range is offered only to eligible non-U.S. persons.

What the SEC’s Innovation Exemption Changes

The SEC’s Innovation Exemption was issued on September 17, 2026 for five years, unless the SEC modifies or extends it. It lets permissioned venues trade tokenized versions of U.S.-listed stocks without registering as exchanges. Only tokens that carry the same rights as the underlying share qualify, and trading takes place in permissioned pools whose operators decide who may access them.

A venue must publish its notice at least 30 calendar days before it starts operating. If a company files a timely objection, the venue cannot offer tokens of that company’s stock, according to SEC staff FAQs.

The SEC’s Innovation Exemption page, last updated October 21 and unchanged when Blockchainreporter checked on November 6, lists three venues that have given notice. It does not say which of them are operating. By November 6, TSV LLC had started trading, while OKXICE and Perpetuals.com had not:

• TSV LLC, submitted September 23, runs permissioned pools on the Canton Network through the Tradecraft protocol. On November 4 it hosted the first trades under the exemption, in issuer-sponsored Canton Strategic Holdings (CNTN) shares, and its website now says “the venue is live.” Only approved participants who pass identity checks and sanctions screening can trade.
• OKXICE, the joint venture of OKX and NYSE owner Intercontinental Exchange, submitted its notice on October 4 and plans to list 63 tokenized U.S. stocks on OKX’s X Layer network. Its November 4 notice listed 62 companies that had objected, up from 38 on October 28, and each objection bars that company’s shares from the venue. On November 6, its website still said the venue was “coming,” with no start date.
• OKXICE launch date: On November 11, OKX said the venue will open on November 23 to eligible U.S. customers of OKX Inc. who activate a CeDeFi Wallet, and users will hold their tokens in self-custody. The announcement says OKXICE LLC “is not a registered exchange or broker-dealer and is not approved by the SEC.”
• Perpetuals.com, operated by Kephas Corporation, submitted on October 14; a company spokesperson said trading could begin in mid-November at the earliest. It published an updated notice dated October 27, and on November 6 its venue page still said it “has not commenced trading operations.”

Blockchainreporter’s reading: the CNTN trades show the exemption can work in practice, but they involved one company that chose to tokenize its own shares, and only approved participants can trade. Listing shares without the company’s backing is a harder test: by a Bitcoin.com News count, 54 of the 62 companies on OKXICE’s original list had objected by November 4. Until more stocks trade on these venues, Dinari and Securitize Stocks remain the main U.S. routes.

Separately, Nasdaq won SEC approval in March 2026 to trade tokenized shares on the same order book as regular shares once the DTCC’s infrastructure is ready. Nasdaq has said it expects to launch Nasdaq Equity Tokens with Kraken’s parent Payward in the second quarter of 2027.

DTCC said on October 28 that its DTCC tokenization service had gone live. Twenty DTC participants, including Bank of America, Citadel Securities, Fidelity Investments, J.P. Morgan and Morgan Stanley, have signed up to use it. The service lets those firms convert securities held at DTC into tokens and move them to digital wallets, according to DTCC.

Where to Buy Tokenized Stocks Outside the U.S.

Binance (bStocks)

Binance launched bStocks on BNB Chain on June 12, 2026, under a prospectus approved in Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM). Binance’s listing notices describe bStocks as certificates representing an interest in underlying securities. They state that “bStocks are not stocks or shares” and give no direct ownership of the company’s shares.

Users can convert existing stock holdings into bStocks at 1:1 with no conversion fee. The notices name three Nest entities regulated by ADGM’s Financial Services Regulatory Authority, including Nest Clearing and Custody, which runs a central securities depository. bStocks trade 24/7 against USDT on Binance Spot, with zero fees on Binance Convert, and can be withdrawn to BNB Chain wallets. Binance set a $5 minimum at launch.

Since November 11, Binance has also sold bStocks for local currency. Its Convert and Buy/Sell pages accept up to 49 fiat currencies, funded from a fiat balance, a card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, and holders can sell bStocks back into eligible fiat without converting to crypto first. Our report breaks down the 49-currency list.

Binance suspended withdrawals after a security incident it disclosed on October 30. On November 1 it said withdrawals were resuming in phases, starting with major coins and stablecoins, and bStocks were not on the first-phase list. Binance said user funds remain safe and that it will absorb the losses.

The range keeps growing. Binance added these bStocks in October:

• October 14: Blackberry, MongoDB, Penguin Solutions and a ProShares VIX ETF.
• October 21: RoboStrategy, Berkshire Hathaway, a KraneShares China ETF, a Direxion leveraged Treasury ETF and Vistra.
• October 28: AppLovin, Bending Spoons, GE Vernova and two leveraged SK Hynix ETFs. It also extended zero maker fees on all bStocks pairs until November 30.

It accepted 14 bStocks as collateral across those three weeks: four on October 14, five on October 21 and five on October 28. Dividends are reinvested. For ASML and Nokia, Binance said holders on its October 27 snapshot would receive more ASMLB and NOKB tokens after withholding tax and costs, not cash.

With about $1.39 billion across 105 assets on rwa.xyz on November 6, bStocks are the largest tokenized stock issuer. They are not offered in the U.S. or to U.S. persons. See our Binance review for the exchange itself.

Kraken (xStocks)

xStocks are issued by Backed Assets (JE) Limited, now part of the Kraken group, as tracker certificates backed 1:1 by shares. The underlying shares are held by Alpaca Securities, with InCore Bank as a secondary custodian. There is also supplemental insurance cover of up to $175 million in aggregate from Lloyd’s of London, according to Kraken’s xStocks FAQ.

The FAQ, last updated September 18, lists 131 xStocks (100 stocks, 27 ETFs and 4 other assets) for eligible clients in more than 110 countries. It excludes the U.S. and U.S. persons, Canada, the U.K. and Australia.

On November 11, Payward added more than 200 of the most actively traded UK- and EU-listed stocks to the xStocks framework, which it says now covers more than 1,500 tokenized assets and holds more than $1.1 billion. The new tokens trade on Kraken and xStocks Alliance venues, but xStocks remain unavailable to investors in the U.K. Read what the UK and EU listings change.

Buying with USD or Kraken’s USDG stablecoin in the Kraken app carries no trading fee beyond the spread, and the minimum is $1. On Kraken Pro, the taker fee is 0.10%, and converting between xStocks costs a fixed 1%. Ten tickers trade 24/7 on Kraken Pro (TSLAx, QQQx, SPYx, NVDAx, CRCLx, AAPLx, HOODx, MSTRx, GLDx and GOOGLx), while the rest trade 24/5.

Dividends are reinvested through a multiplier after 30% U.S. withholding tax. Kraken says xStocks do not carry voting rights, although its parent Payward announced in August 2026 that eligible holders will be able to vote by proxy through Broadridge.

Bybit and OKX (xStocks)

Bybit and OKX also list xStocks. Bybit’s xStocks FAQ, updated October 23, says the tokens trade 24/7 on its spot market and can be deposited and withdrawn on Solana and Mantle. They are not available in Australia, Japan, the U.K., any EEA country or a long list of other countries named on that page. Bybit’s restricted-countries page also excludes the United States.

Bybit’s fees follow its Adventure Zone schedule, 0.20% for makers and takers at the base VIP 0 level.

OKX launched a unified market for more than 40 tokenized U.S. stocks in July 2026. It routes each issuer’s version of a stock into one order book backed by xStocks, with trading against USDT. Reports at launch said U.S. and EU users were excluded. Our Bybit and OKX reviews cover the platforms.

Ondo Stocks (via Wallets and Partner Exchanges)

Ondo‘s tokenized stocks, renamed Ondo Stocks in July 2026, now cover more than 470 U.S. stocks and ETFs on Ethereum, BNB Chain and Solana. Ondo’s website showed a total value locked of $1.35 billion on November 2. rwa.xyz, which measures distributed token value, counted about $864 million on November 6, still the second-largest total.

On October 27, Ondo brought 15 tokenized stocks and ETFs to Robinhood Chain with Uniswap liquidity pools, according to The Defiant. They are total return trackers backed by the underlying shares and cash in transit, which are held with U.S. broker-dealers or trust companies. An independent security agent holds a claim on the collateral for token holders. Dividends are reinvested, and Ondo states that the tokens “are not themselves stocks.”

Eligible non-U.S. users can buy them in Ondo’s app after identity checks. They can also use wallets such as Ledger, MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Binance Wallet and Bitget Wallet and exchanges such as Gate, KuCoin and MEXC.

Ondo Stocks are offered only outside the U.S. In Switzerland and Singapore, Ondo says they are offered only to qualified or professional investors. In the U.K., its materials are directed at investment professionals and high-net-worth companies. In the EEA, a prospectus approved in Liechtenstein makes many, but not all, available to retail investors.

Robinhood (Stock Tokens)

Robinhood launched Stock Tokens on its own Robinhood Chain, whose mainnet opened on July 1, 2026. The tokens are debt securities issued by Robinhood Assets (Jersey) Limited that track a share’s price without giving any rights in the underlying stock. Robinhood says it offers more than 190 of them.

They trade through the self-custody Robinhood Wallet and on decentralized or centralized exchanges where available. They are not available in the U.S., Canada, the U.K. or Switzerland, among other restricted jurisdictions. In its third quarter results on October 27, filed with the SEC, Robinhood said Robinhood Chain generated more than $80 billion in decentralized exchange volume in its first quarter on mainnet.

In the European Union, Robinhood’s main app offers Classic Stock Tokens (formerly called Robinhood Stock Tokens) instead. Robinhood’s EU support page describes them as derivative contracts with Robinhood under MiFID II. They have a €1 minimum, a 0.10% currency fee on each order and no other Robinhood fees.

They trade from Monday 02:00 to Saturday 02:00 CET, can earn dividends when eligible and cannot be moved to other wallets. Robinhood’s EU page does not give a count and says the full list is in the app.

Coinbase-Issued Tokens on Base

Coinbase began issuing tokenized stocks on its Base network on August 24, 2026. Base’s official list shows 10: Nvidia, Meta, Apple, Alphabet, Amazon, Microsoft, Strategy, SanDisk, SpaceX and Tesla, with tickers ending in “c,” such as NVDAc. Each token is a beneficial claim on a real share held in regulated, bankruptcy-remote custody separate from Coinbase.

The tokens trade at any hour on Base apps and protocols such as Aerodrome, Morpho, Aave, CoW Swap and Coinbase Wallet, and need no brokerage account to buy. They are offered only outside the U.S., under Regulation S. Our report on Coinbase’s tokenized stocks has more.

Bitget

Bitget offers two kinds of tokenized stocks, none of them to U.S. persons. Its Spot Stocks, launched as Stocks 2.0 in June 2026 and issued by Reality, trade against USDT and credit cash dividends in USDT, with a 0.1% base trading fee. It also lists Ondo-issued stock tokens.

Gemini (Closed Outside the U.S.)

One former option has closed. Gemini, which had offered tokenized stocks to EU customers, left the EU, the U.K. and Australia: its support page says U.K. and EU accounts moved to withdrawal-only on March 5, 2026, and all accounts in those regions closed on April 6, 2026.

Which Tokenized Stocks Give You Real Ownership?

SEC staff said in a January 28, 2026 statement that tokenized securities are still securities. The statement separates tokens issued by the company itself from tokens created by third parties, which are either custodial (backed by a share held for the holder) or synthetic (tracking the price). The structure decides whether you own a share, a claim on a share or only a price-tracking product.

Binance’s bStocks sit close to the custodial group in one respect: holders can convert stock holdings into bStocks 1:1 inside Binance’s regulated ADGM structure. Binance’s own disclaimer, however, says they are certificates and not shares. For the basics of how these products work, see our explainer on what tokenized stocks are.

How to Buy Tokenized Stocks: Step by Step

1. Check your eligibility. Find the platform’s list of supported countries. Using a VPN to get around a country restriction breaches the terms of service and can lead to a frozen account.
2. Choose an exchange, a broker or a wallet. Exchanges such as Binance and Kraken are the simplest route outside the U.S. Self-custody wallets give you 24/7 access through decentralized exchanges. U.S. buyers need a broker-backed service such as Dinari or Securitize.
3. Complete identity verification. Exchanges and brokers require KYC checks. Wallet-based products such as Robinhood Stock Tokens require them only to redeem with the issuer.
4. Fund your account. Most platforms accept stablecoins such as USDC or USDT, and some accept dollars or euros by bank transfer or card.
5. Buy the token and verify it. Search for the ticker, compare the token’s price with the real share price, and check the contract address against the issuer’s official list before you buy onchain.

Biggest Tokenized Stock Issuers

Source: rwa.xyz, distributed value, checked November 6, 2026 (the bStocks value is from its rwa.xyz platform page). Share of market is each issuer’s value divided by the $3.69 billion total. Asset counts include the same stock deployed on several blockchains.

The top ten issuers were the same as on November 2, but Coinbase moved ahead of Superstate Opening Bell into eighth place. On November 6, the single largest tokenized stock was still Securitize’s own SECZ share, at about $196 million, just ahead of Binance’s tokenized SpaceX shares at about $193 million and its Circle shares at about $153 million, according to rwa.xyz.

Risks to Check Before You Buy

• Limited rights. Many tokens carry no voting rights, and dividends are often reinvested rather than paid in cash.
• Issuer and custodian risk. With custodial and tracker tokens, you depend on the issuer and its custodian to hold the shares and honor redemptions. What you recover in a failure depends on the issuer’s legal structure; Robinhood’s EU page, for example, warns that investors may lose up to their full capital if Robinhood becomes insolvent.
• Price gaps and thin liquidity. The IMF found tokenized stocks about 1.5 times as volatile as the shares they track, and least liquid on decentralized exchanges. More than half of trading happens outside regular U.S. market hours, when the underlying stock is not trading.
• Fake tokens. Base warns that any token not on its official list was not issued by Coinbase. Always match contract addresses.
• Platform disruptions. Exchanges can pause withdrawals at short notice. Binance suspended them after a security incident it disclosed on October 30 and began resuming them in phases on November 1, so tokens held on an exchange may not be movable to a wallet right away.
• Changing rules. Companies can object to third-party tokens of their stock on U.S. venues, and platforms can add or remove countries at short notice, as Gemini did when it left Europe.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I buy tokenized stocks?
Outside the U.S., tokenized stocks are sold on exchanges such as Binance (bStocks), Kraken, Bybit and OKX (xStocks) and Bitget, and through self-custody wallets such as Robinhood Wallet, Base wallets and Ondo’s partner wallets. In the U.S., eligible investors can buy through regulated brokers such as Dinari and Securitize Stocks. OKXICE plans to open to eligible U.S. OKX customers on November 23. Availability depends on your country, so check each platform’s eligibility list first.

Can US residents buy tokenized stocks?
Yes, but options are limited. Eligible U.S. investors can buy Dinari’s dShares or Securitize Stocks through registered broker-dealers. Kraken, Binance, Ondo, Robinhood and Coinbase exclude U.S. persons. Under the SEC’s Innovation Exemption, only TSV LLC had started trading by November 6, 2026, with one stock for approved participants, while 62 companies had objected to OKXICE listing their shares. OKXICE now plans to open on November 23.

Can I buy tokenized stocks in Europe or the U.K.?
In the EU, eligible buyers can use Kraken’s xStocks, Robinhood Europe’s Classic Stock Tokens and many Ondo Stocks offered under a Liechtenstein-approved prospectus, and Securitize serves EU investors through a Spanish firm supervised by the CNMV. The U.K. has fewer options: Kraken, Bybit and Robinhood’s Stock Tokens exclude it, and Ondo directs its U.K. materials at professionals. Check each platform’s country list first.

Are tokenized stocks safe?
They carry risks that ordinary shares do not. You depend on the issuer and custodian to hold the shares and honor redemptions, many tokens carry no voting rights, and prices can drift from the real stock when markets are closed. The IMF found them about 1.5 times as volatile as the underlying shares. Use official platforms and verify contract addresses, because fake tokens circulate.

Do tokenized stocks pay dividends?
Most do, but usually not in cash. xStocks, Ondo Stocks and Binance’s bStocks reinvest dividends after withholding tax, raising the balance or value of each token; Binance announced this for ASML and Nokia holders at an October 27 snapshot. Dinari pays dividends in USDC, and Bitget’s Spot Stocks credit them in USDT. Check each product’s terms before buying.

What is the difference between xStocks and bStocks?
xStocks are tracker certificates issued by Backed Assets, part of the Kraken group, and sold on Kraken, Bybit, OKX and onchain. bStocks are Binance’s own tokenized certificates on BNB Chain, offered under an Abu Dhabi Global Market prospectus and convertible from stock holdings at 1:1. Both reinvest dividends, give no direct ownership of the underlying shares and exclude U.S. persons.

Are tokenized stocks legal?
It depends on where you live and on the product. SEC staff said in January 2026 that tokenized stocks are still securities, and offshore issuers such as Binance and Coinbase exclude U.S. persons from their products. U.S. buyers use registered brokers such as Dinari and Securitize. In Europe, products run under prospectus or MiFID II rules. Using a VPN to bypass a country block breaches platform terms.

Can I buy tokenized stocks on Coinbase?
Not in the U.S. Coinbase issues 10 tokenized stocks on its Base network, including Nvidia, Apple, Meta and Tesla, but only for eligible users outside the United States, under Regulation S.
