ARTICLE: xStocks on STON: How TON Users Can Access Tokenized Stocks Without Brokers or KYC

INTRODUCTION: THE WALL BETWEEN CRYPTO AND TRADITIONAL MARKETS IS FALLING

For decades, investing in global stocks like Apple (AAPL), Tesla (TSLA), Nvidia (NVDA), or Google (GOOGL) required:
Stock brokers
KYC procedures
Bank accounts
Geographic restrictions
Limited trading hours
For millions of people worldwide, especially in emerging markets, these barriers made traditional markets inaccessible.
STON changes this with xStocks.
Through the newly launched xStocks page on STON TON users can now explore tokenized market assets such as AAPLx, TSLAx, NVDAx, and GOOGLx directly on-chain, without brokers, without KYC, and without traditional intermediaries.
This article explains what xStocks are, how they work on STON and why this is a major breakthrough for DeFi on TON.

1. WHAT ARE xSTOCKS?

xStocks are tokenized representations of real-world market assets.
Each xStock:
Tracks the price of a real publicly traded stock
Exists as a token on the blockchain
Can be traded like any crypto asset
Is available 24/7 on-chain
Examples available on STON include:
AAPLx → Apple
TSLAx → Tesla
NVDAx → Nvidia
GOOGLx → Google
Instead of opening a brokerage account, users interact directly with these assets using their TON wallet.

2. WHY xSTOCKS ON STON ARE DIFFERENT

While tokenized assets are not new, STON implementation on TON brings unique advantages.
2.1 No Brokers, No KYC
Users do not need:
Personal identification
Approval processes
Bank verification
Geographic eligibility
A wallet is enough.
This makes xStocks accessible to:
Users in restricted regions
Crypto-native traders
Telegram users entering finance for the first time
2.2 On-Chain Transparency
All swaps happen:
On-chain
Via STON liquidity pools
With visible pricing and slippage
Users can verify:
Token prices
Liquidity depth
Trading behavior
This removes the “black box” problem of traditional brokers.
2.3 24/7 Market Access
Unlike traditional stock markets:
No opening hours
No closing bell
No weekend downtime
xStocks on STON can be explored and swapped anytime, aligning perfectly with crypto-native behavior.

3. HOW xSTOCKS WORK ON STON

STON acts as the liquidity and trading layer for xStocks on TON.
3.1 Liquidity Pools
Each xStock has liquidity pools paired with TON or stable assets.
These pools:
Enable price discovery
Reduce slippage
Allow instant swaps
3.2 Smart Routing
STON routing engine:
Finds the most efficient swap path
Minimizes price impact
Protects users from poor execution
This is especially important for high-demand assets like TSLAx and NVDAx.

The launch of xStocks is not just a new feature it’s a strategic expansion of TON’s utility.
4.1 Attracting Traditional Market Users
Stock investors who never used DeFi now have a reason to explore TON.
4.2 Expanding Use Cases
TON is no longer just:
Payments
Games
NFTs
It becomes a gateway to global financial markets.
4.3 Liquidity Growth

6. RISKS AND RESPONSIBILITY

STON emphasizes education and accuracy.
Users should understand:
xStocks track price movements, not corporate ownership

This transparency builds long-term trust a core STON principle.

7. WHY STON IS THE RIGHT PLATFORM FOR xSTOCKS

STON provides:
Deep liquidity
