Kraken Brings Tokenized Stock Trading to Telegram via TON Blockchain
Kraken's integration of xStocks with TON blockchain marks a strategic play for mass adoption. The MOVE leverages Telegram's 800-million-strong user base, offering frictionless access to tokenized equities through a familiar messaging interface.
TON's high-speed blockchain infrastructure solves critical scalability challenges, while Kraken provides regulatory-compliant market access. This symbiosis creates a new on-ramp for retail investors previously deterred by crypto's technical barriers.
The partnership reflects growing convergence between traditional finance and decentralized systems. Tokenized assets now represent 1.7% of global equity volumes, with projections suggesting 5% penetration by 2025 according to Bernstein research.
