Kraken to allow trading in Apple, Tesla and Nvidia shares as digital tokens, WSJ reports
May 26, 2025 12:31 PM

(Reuters) -Crypto exchange Kraken plans to launch tokenized versions of more than 50 stocks and exchange-traded funds, including shares of Apple ( AAPL ), Tesla, Nvidia ( NVDA ), the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday.

The move will allow non-U.S. customers to trade shares of these and other high-profile companies in the form of tokens, the report said, citing a company statement.

Tokenization refers to the process of issuing digital representations of publicly-traded securities.

Instead of holding the securities directly, investors hold tokens that represents ownership of the securities.

The tokenized versions of the stocks would trade 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on Kraken, the report added.

Kraken did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
