Tokenized azioni represent the new frontier of digital investment and, from July 2, Gemini expands its offering in the Unione Europea by making over 20 new assets available. This innovation offers direct access to blue-chip stocks, companies linked to Bitcoin, and giants of traditional finance, making portfolio diversification more accessible than ever to EU clients.
Gemini launches a diversified catalog of tokenized stocks
With the goal of consolidating its role among the main international exchanges, Gemini introduces a wide and layered range of tokenized stocks. After an initial weekly launch focused on MicroStrategy (MSTR), from July 2nd, European investors can access a spectrum that encompasses various leading sectors of the global economy.
The platform has officially announced the inclusion of the following blue-chip companies:
Apple Inc.
Amazon.com Inc.
The Walt Disney Company
Alphabet Inc. Class A
Microsoft Corp.
Netflix Inc.
Intel Corp.
Dell Technologies Inc.
Meta Platforms, Inc. Class A
These are joined by companies closely linked to the Bitcoin world, including Coinbase Global, MARA Holdings, and Circle Internet Group, as well as leading stocks of traditional finance such as SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust, Robinhood, Mastercard, Goldman Sachs, and American Express.
What are tokenized stocks: a digital revolution
Tokenized azioni encompass the concept of asset digitalization. These are certified digital token on blockchain that directly represent a unit of an underlying company. In other words, holding one of these azioni is economically equivalent to owning the corresponding real share listed on the market.
This technology is based on blockchain infrastructures like Arbitrum, leveraging the transparency, traceability, and speed that characterize this distributed ledger system. This allows to:
Negotiate 24/7: Investors can operate at any time, without the time constraints of traditional markets.
Acquisto frazionato: It is possible to invest even in small portions of shares, lowering the entry barriers.
Almost instant settlement: Transactions are recorded and completed very quickly.
Transparency and public verification: All operations are recorded on a public or authorized network, making them always verifiable.
The available categories: from tech to traditional, including Bitcoin
Technology sector and blue-chip
Among the leading stocks, the major American tech companies stand out. Apple, Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft represent the excellence of the tech sector. The presence of Netflix, Intel, and Dell broadens the range for those seeking solidity and constant growth.
Companies oriented towards Bitcoin and innovation
A strategic segment of Gemini’s offering concerns cutting-edge companies in blockchain and Bitcoin. The tokenized stocks of Coinbase, MARA Holdings, and Circle Internet Group stand out here. These companies embody the digital transformation of financial services and focus on technologies increasingly integrated with cryptocurrencies.
Traditional finance and ETFs
On the front of traditional finance (tradFi), the varied Gemini selection includes names such as Goldman Sachs, Mastercard, and American Express, but also aggregated instruments like SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust, aimed at providing exposure to the 500 largest US companies. The presence of Robinhood, an emerging platform for young investors, should not be underestimated.
Facets of the U.S. economy
The list is further enriched thanks to giants like Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Tesla, Nvidia, and Costco Wholesale, in addition to the tech-savvy Palantir and the creative dynamism of Roblox Corporation as a “bonus” asset. This basket ensures wide strategic flexibility for EU investors, increasingly oriented towards the balance between risk and return.
Specific advantages of tokenized shares for EU investors
The tokenizzazione of stocks, proposed by Gemini, introduces a series of benefits that leverage accessibility, efficiency, and transparency:
Flexibility: The minimum investment is drastically reduced, providing access even to small savers.
Liquidity: The market for tokenized stocks never “sleeps” thanks to the non-stop operations on blockchain.
Transaction speed: The almost instantaneous settlement accelerates portfolio turnover and reduces uncertainties.
Transparency and security: Everything takes place in a public and controlled environment, easily auditable.
Innovation: It allows European investors to ride the wave of financial digitalization and experiment with cutting-edge forms of investment.
Furthermore, the possibility of accessing both the big names of the real economy and the more dynamic companies of the digital sector allows for effective diversification, mitigating specific sector risks.
What to know before investing in Gemini tokenized stocks
Before approaching this new asset class, it is necessary to evaluate some key elements:
Eligibility: Only European Union clients identified as “eligible” can access these products on Gemini.
Replication: Tokenized shares aim to faithfully replicate the value of the underlying share, but the actual conversion or exercise of corporate rights (such as dividends) is subject to current regulations.
Underlying technology: The security of transactions and the custody of assets are guaranteed by the blockchain networks employed, for example, Arbitrum.
This combination of regulatory and innovative aspects implies that the investor must thoroughly examine terms and conditions before completing the purchase.
Gemini, tokenized stocks and new opportunities for Europe
The launch of over 20 new tokenized stocks on Gemini represents a breakthrough for the European financial landscape. Thanks to this initiative, both large and small investors can now diversify their portfolios in a more agile and transparent way. If the digitization of assets continues with the same intensity, Europe will see its financial ecosystem strengthened, opening up to more inclusive and innovative participation. By consulting Gemini’s full offering, it is possible to start exploring these new frontiers of investment today.
