Tokenized Asset

xStocks represent publicly traded shares and are designed to track the price of the underlying stock, but do not grant voting rights for the underlying company&#8217;s shares.



The issuer of xStocks, Backed Finance (<a href="https://backed.fi/">https://backed.fi/</a>), is legally authorized to hold the original shares and issue its tokenized version on the blockchain.

How do xStocks work?

xStocks are blockchain-based tokens that represent real-world stocks and ETFs, with each token fully backed 1:1 by the actual underlying asset.

What are xStocks?

Tokenized US stocks on Pintu are digital tokens whose prices track real-world US stocks. For simplicity, the term “stocks” in this context also covers ETFs and other publicly traded assets.



These tokens are issued by two regulated global tokenization platforms: xStocks/Backed Finance (identified by the X suffix) and Ondo (identified by the -on suffix). Both issuers fully back their tokens with the underlying assets, which are held by licensed custodians.



Tokenized stocks are designed to mirror the price movement of the real asset. They provide equivalent economic exposure to holding the underlying stock or ETF, including reinvested dividends after applicable withholding taxes (depending on the issuer’s structure).
