Comparison
Best Platforms for Tokenized Stocks
A comparison of crypto exchanges offering tokenized equities, by what you own, coverage and backing.
Several platforms now offer tokenized equities, but they differ on issuer, backing, coverage and the chains they settle on. This comparison focuses on the thing that matters most — what you actually hold — rather than on headline marketing.
| Platform | What you own | Issuer / backing | Coverage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kraken xStocks | Tokenized stock | Backed Finance, 1:1 | Major US names (TSLAX, NVDAX, AAPLX…) |
| Binance bStocks | Tokenized certificate | ADGM-regulated, 1:1 | Selected US equities |
| Ondo Global Markets | Tokenized RWA | Ondo, total return | 260+ US stocks & ETFs |
| Coinbase (upcoming) | Tokenized stock | To be confirmed | Non-US, ~Aug 2026 |
The verdict
For breadth, Ondo leads with 260+ assets and total-return tracking. For a 1:1-backed token from a named issuer on a market-leading venue, Kraken xStocks (Backed Finance) is the reference point. Binance bStocks add an ADGM-regulated certificate within the Binance ecosystem, and Coinbase is one to watch once it launches for non-US users.
Whichever you pick, remember that all of these are tokens or certificates — not registered shares. Match the issuer, backing and jurisdiction to your needs before depositing.
