Summary

OKX said it will launch Unified Tokenized Stocks on its spot market, giving users 24/7 price exposure to underlying stocks and ETFs through USDT-quoted trading pairs that begin with an "X" prefix, such as XAAPL and XTSLA. The product is backed by xStocks from Backed Assets, supports deposits and withdrawals on the Solana and X Layer networks, and may consolidate tokenized versions of the same stock from multiple providers into a single on-exchange asset with one order book and one set of corporate-action rules. OKX said deposits for all assets will open at 08:00 UTC on July 15, 2026, with spot trading and withdrawals starting on July 16 in four batches beginning with XMU/USDT and followed by products including XSPY, XQQQ, XNVDA, XTSLA, XAAPL and XMSFT. The exchange said the instruments do not represent ownership of the underlying companies and do not grant shareholder rights such as voting, though users may withdraw into xStocks under the applicable provider terms. OKX also outlined pre-open sessions, index-based price-limit controls and automatic dividend handling through issuer-level reinvestment net of applicable withholding tax, while warning that the products are volatile, may not be offered to U.S. persons or within the United States, and may not be available in every region.
