After the successful launch of the tokenized Nvidia shares, INX and Backed has expanded their list with tokenized Microsoft (bMSFT), Tesla (bTSLA), GameStop (bGME), and Google (bGOOGL) stocks. These assets are tokenized on the Polygon Proof of Stake (PoS) network, which guarantees that each token is collateralized at a one-to-one ratio by its equivalent stock. This listing is compliant with the EU securities laws and offers protection and clarity for investors.

INX Plans Future Expansion with Apple and ETF Tokens

According to the announcement, future developments include INX adding tokenized shares of Apple, the S&P 500 ETF, and BlackRock’s iShares Treasury ETF, which will be launched next month. These are some of the key developments that INX is undertaking to enable the masses to gain exposure to traditional financial assets while combining the benefits of traditional and digital markets.

The expansion enables investors from outside the United States to invest in conventional financial instruments when the stock markets are closed. INX also provides 24/7 trading services to allow investors to trade at their convenience. Also, the platform has given investors the option of self-custody, which allows them to hold the tokenized securities in their wallets. This enhances the control and security for investors as they get to deal with a single management body to fix their portfolios.

Investors can also deposit funds in their accounts through cryptocurrency to enable seamless trading between traditional and digital assets. This opens up more possibilities for investments as the DeFi elements include the use of tokenized stocks as collateral for loans and other use cases.

INX’s CEO, Shy Datika, emphasized the importance of this expansion, stating, “This partnership with Backed allows us to expand our tokenized stock offerings, bringing more opportunities to our users. We are committed to advancing the accessibility and efficiency of tokenized assets and continuing to grow our marketplace.”

Backed’s tokenized stocks are fully compliant with an EU prospectus, which makes the company completely transparent. These tokens’ holders have the first rights to the collateral; the collateral is stored safely by a licensed custodian under an account control agreement. This partnership offers more safety and confidence to the potential investors who are eligible for it.
