Kraken’s Game-Changer: xStocks Launches on TON via Telegram Wallet

Kraken just bypassed traditional finance's gatekeepers. The exchange launched xStocks directly on the TON blockchain, accessible through Telegram's built-in wallet.

Mass Adoption, No App Store Required

Forget downloading another exchange app. This move leverages Telegram's 900 million-strong user base. Users can now trade tokenized stocks within a messaging app they already use daily. It's a direct pipeline from chat to trade.

The TON Network's Secret Weapon

Why TON? Speed and scale. The Telegram Open Network is built for high-throughput transactions, a necessity for mainstream financial products. Kraken's integration validates TON as a serious layer-1 contender, not just a messaging sidechain.

Wall Street's Worst Nightmare

This cuts out the middleman entirely. No traditional broker, no cumbersome account setup—just a crypto wallet inside a chat app. It's a quiet revolution for global retail investing, especially in regions underserved by legacy finance. One cynical finance jab? The old guard is still figuring out PDF reports while crypto builds the new stock exchange in a chat window.

The future of trading isn't on a Bloomberg terminal. It's in your pocket, one text message away.

Kraken is launching its xStocks product on the TON blockchain, now available through Telegram’s TON Wallet. This integration lets users trade tokenized stocks directly within Telegram, offering a simple and familiar interface. By combining Kraken’s robust trading platform with TON’s fast blockchain and Telegram’s large user base, the move aims to make digital assets more accessible, streamline the trading experience, and promote wider adoption of tokenized stock trading in the crypto space.
