TL;DR
- BounceBit will offer tokenized stocks, allowing investment in real assets from markets in the United States, Europe, Hong Kong, and Japan.
- This strategy aims to expand investment options for those who want to trade stocks quickly, transparently, and globally.
- The tokenized stock market volume could surpass that of stablecoins, driven by the arrival of clear regulations in the United States.
BounceBit announced it will add tokenized stocks to its platform during the fourth quarter of 2025.
This will enable users to access real assets from public markets in the United States, Europe, Hong Kong, and Japan, operating directly on the blockchain. The company seeks to simplify access and use of these financial instruments through its platform called Tokenized Stock Environment.
BounceBit Follows Robinhood’s Lead
BounceBit’s decision is based on a strategy already popular in the crypto industry, where platforms like Robinhood have entered tokenized stock trading in the European Union. The goal is to offer more options to investors who want to operate with real assets in a digital, on-chain format—combining transparency, speed, and global access.
Users outside the United States can already use services that allow investing in tokens tracking popular stocks such as Tesla, Apple, or Nvidia. Meanwhile, Kraken is preparing to launch on-chain versions of U.S. equities, so this market could begin expanding rapidly in the near term.
Will Tokenized Stocks Surpass Stablecoins?
The tokenized stock market could surpass stablecoins in volume, which currently have a U.S. dollar-backed supply exceeding $240 billion. The expectation is that U.S. regulation will further boost adoption, especially under an administration like Trump’s, which has supported innovation in the North American crypto market.
BounceBit believes tokenized stocks can transform public markets worldwide, much like stablecoins did in the foreign exchange sector. So far, these initiatives have mainly targeted clients outside the U.S. to avoid regulatory conflicts, but that focus could change with the arrival of clearer and more industry-friendly regulations.
Recently, Dinari obtained the first official approval in the United States to offer blockchain-based stock investments, setting a precedent that will be key for the sector’s development.
