Crypto.com has launched Tokenized Stocks, a new feature that enables users to gain round-the-clock exposure to major U.S. equities and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) directly through its mobile application, further bridging the gap between traditional Wall Street markets and digital asset trading.

Available Assets and Eligibility

Tokenized Stocks are available to eligible users in the European Economic Area (EEA) and other approved jurisdictions worldwide. According to Crypto.com's official announcement, the initial lineup includes references to companies such as Nvidia (NVDA), Tesla (TSLA), and Apple (AAPL), alongside ETFs such as SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) and iShares Silver Trust (SLV). Users can access the product directly through the exchange's existing app infrastructure.

The tokenized products are derivative financial instruments designed to track the price performance of their underlying assets. They do not confer legal or beneficial ownership of the underlying securities, nor do they carry any associated shareholder or voting rights.

Crypto.com stated that the underlying assets supporting the product are held in custody with Alpaca, a U.S.-regulated self-clearing broker-dealer that supports more than 90% of the tokenized U.S. stocks and ETF market.

How the Product Works

Tokenized Stocks track the price performance of their corresponding underlying financial instruments rather than transferring direct ownership of shares to users. Eligible users can purchase fractional exposure starting at $1.

Crypto.com is offering zero-commission trading for a limited introductory period, though foreign-exchange charges, spreads, and other applicable costs may still apply.

Co-Founder and CEO Kris Marszalek described the launch as part of the company's broader push into multi-asset trading, emphasizing blockchain technology as a means to modernize equity market access.

"By modernizing one of the world's oldest asset classes with the speed of blockchain, Tokenized Stocks offers a simple, 24/7 solution to a historically complex trading experience."

Industry Context

The expansion brings traditional U.S. equity exposure deeper into a crypto-native trading environment, a move that could intensify competition among exchanges, brokers, and tokenization platforms. For users, the appeal is less about changing the nature of the underlying assets than about consolidating access to familiar securities and ETFs within the same app used for digital assets. The launch also contributes to a broader industry trend of bringing stocks and other real-world assets onto blockchain-based infrastructure.
