#RWA track has always been a key investment area for us. In the past two years, the tokenization of US bonds has been flourishing, and now the tokenization of US stocks is becoming the new trend.

Our research team has recently discovered a new RWA opportunity: #xStocks (@xStocksFi) has officially launched on #Bybit (@Bybit_Official). Simply put, it brings the familiar US stocks (like Apple, Tesla, Nvidia, and other large blue chips) onto the blockchain, transforming them into tokens that can be traded like regular cryptocurrencies using USD. This will be a monumental change, acting as a bridge between traditional stocks and the crypto world.

Why do I have high hopes for this?

1️⃣ The combination of traditional stocks + blockchain advantages has emerged

In the past, when we bought US stocks, we had to open a US stock account, convert foreign currency, deal with time differences, pay fees, and worry about being taxed (recently, Futu has been tightening scrutiny on offshore accounts). However, #xStocks is different; it is tokenized stocks that can be bought directly with USDT, with 24/7 trading, so you won't miss any news or market movements.

Additionally, it is backed by real stocks, not futures or synthetic assets, but real tokens that are 1:1 backed by stocks. The issuance is done by Backed Finance, which complies with European MiFID II prospectus requirements, and it is also custodied by Swiss/US regulators, making it very solid.

2️⃣ Can be played on-chain and connected to #DeFi

By buying these #xStocks, you can not only hold them and wait for appreciation (like long-term investing in regular stocks), but also use them in #DeFi scenarios for collateral, lending, arbitrage, or yield strategies. This is very friendly for us Web3 veterans, equivalent to having an asset that earns from both ends—having the fundamentals of stocks while also engaging in on-chain activities.

For example, I can lend out my #AAPL (APPLX) to earn interest, or use it as collateral to borrow stablecoins for other investments, significantly increasing liquidity and capital efficiency.

3️⃣ #Bybit is a very reliable trading platform

#Bybit itself has good liquidity and user interface. Now, with the introduction of #xStocks, it has become our new gateway for trading US stocks on-chain. No need to open a brokerage account and no worries about foreign exchange restrictions. You can enter the market with USDT, and the trading interface is the same as traditional cryptocurrency trading, significantly lowering the threshold.

For users in the crypto space, they can finally 'trade US stocks' in a familiar environment. Moreover, trading is available 24/7, which is much better than the traditional stock market's 6.5 hours a day.

4️⃣ The potential goes far beyond US stocks

Currently available are the 'Seven Golden Flowers' (#AAPL, #TSLA, #NVDA, #META, #AMZN, etc.) along with some crypto-related companies (#MSTR, #HOOD, #CRCL). This is just the beginning. In the future, #RWA tokenization will be a major trend, with real estate, bonds, and commodities potentially becoming on-chain assets.

According to data, this year the RWA market has exceeded $24 billion, with a year-end target of $50 billion. BlackRock's CEO Larry Fink has also personally endorsed the idea, stating that tokenization is 'the future of financial infrastructure.' This essentially tells us that this sector is not just a trend but a wave.
