Summary

Bybit has enabled six xStock tokenized U.S. equities to be used as collateral across margin trading, crypto loans and institutional lending products, extending the role of tokenized stocks on the exchange beyond spot trading. Eligible users can pledge tokenized shares of Nvidia (NVDAX), Robinhood (HOODX), Circle (CRCLX), Tesla (TSLAX), Alphabet (GOOGLX) and Apple (AAPLX) through Bybit’s Unified Trading Account, Crypto Loans and Institutional Loans, subject to product availability and lending terms. The July 31 move means traders can keep exposure to those equities while borrowing against them or using them to support leveraged crypto positions. Bybit first rolled out xStocks in June with tokenization platform Backed, listing more than 60 tokenized U.S. stocks and exchange-traded funds backed 1:1 by underlying securities held by a regulated custodian. The expansion underscores a broader push by exchanges to integrate tokenized real-world assets more deeply into trading and credit infrastructure as the tokenized equities market grows.
