The deal enables xStocks to access Hong Kong and other major markets, backed by GTN’s infrastructure for 90+ regions.
Payward is broadening its xStocks platform beyond U.S. equities through a partnership with GTN, targeting Asia, Europe, and other financial hubs. The initial rollout will cover Hong Kong-listed shares, with the U.K., Europe, and South Korea to follow pending regulatory approvals.
xStocks, which launched with tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs, now includes over 500 assets, $35 billion in transaction volume, and nearly 200,000 holders. GTN will provide execution, custody, and ledgering services, leveraging its single-integration access to 90+ markets.
The agreement may also expand distribution to GTN’s institutional clients once licensing is secured. Payward aims to extend xStocks beyond equities and ETFs, contingent on local regulations.
