Tokenizing US equities was just the beginning.
We're bringing tokenized access to international markets by partnering with institutional infrastructure provider @GTNglobal.
Tokenizing assets listed in Hong Kong first. More to follow.
BIG move - @krakenfx just partnered with @GTNglobal to take xStocks global, Hong Kong first, then UK, Europe, South Korea, and beyond equities into new asset classes entirely.
@xStocksFi already does $37B+ in volume with 200K holders, and it trades onchain across $Ink. Ink itself is sitting at $125M TVL right now, and expansion news like this is exactly the kind of tailwind that brings fresh volume and capital through its rails.
@inkonchain isn't just another L2 ,Kraken is building a complete ecosystem around it.
Project of the Week: @nadoHQ
Nado keeps delivering. Here’s why they’re our project of the week.
▫️ $5M deposited this week as traders lean into short positions, with $ETH the primary focus.
▫️ Equity perps expanded with new listings: BBX, MSTR, and $ZHIPU bringing cybersecurity, Bitcoin exposure, and AI model labs to the platform.
▫️ @xStocksFi users can now earn a 25% xPoints multiplier plus market interest by depositing on Nado.
📊 The State of Ink
Perpetuals continue to grow on Ink.
Over $760M in weekly perp volume, $374M in bridged assets highlight where capital and trading activity are concentrated.
Here’s everything happening across @inkonchain 👇
Ink is right about how onchain finance scales: through apps people already trust, with the chain out of view. That only holds if the settlement layer underneath stays dependable at volume, which is why @inkonchain runs on OP Enterprise Fully Managed.
Onchain finance scales when it reaches people who never set out to use a blockchain.
They open an app they already trust, fund an account, and the assets settle onchain, most of them never learning the chain is there.
Kraken already works this way, with products like DeFi Earn.
That's an early look at how most people will reach onchain finance, and the kind of activity Ink is being built to settle.
Most stocks just sit in a brokerage account.
Onchain, tokenized stocks become live capital instead of a balance you stare at.
Ink is where your assets go to work.
Your xStocks don’t have to sit idle.
Deposit on @nadoHQ to earn a 25% xPoints multiplier, no trading required.
You can also use your xStocks as collateral for perp trading while continuing to earn the boost.
Get started:
We're building with @inkonchain as a Spark builder.
Arcana is a framework for onchain apps: fast offchain execution, onchain custody, verifiable state.
We'll be supporting more projects building on Ink.
