Catenaa, Thursday, November 13, 2025-Cryptocurrency exchange Bybit and Backed Finance have partnered to bring tokenized stocks to the Mantle Layer 2 blockchain, enabling broader access to equities like Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft, and Strategy.
Backed’s xStocks platform, already integrated with Kraken and Solana-based protocols including Kamino, Raydium, and Jupiter, allows investors to trade tokenized shares permissionlessly across multiple ecosystems. The platform has recorded onchain transaction volumes exceeding $1.6 billion, the company said.
Through the collaboration, users can deposit and withdraw assets between Bybit and Mantle, facilitating efficient and secure transfers while driving liquidity to the blockchain.
Backed’s tokenized equities aim to offer non-US investors exposure to traditional stocks in digital form that can trade 24/7 without geographical or institutional restrictions.
Mantle, a zero-knowledge rollup blockchain developed in partnership with Succinct Labs, positions itself as a gateway for institutions and traditional finance firms to access onchain liquidity and real-world assets.
Bybit, one of the world’s largest crypto exchanges, said the integration will allow millions of users to access tokenized stocks from familiar apps and wallets.
Analysts note that real-world assets, including tokenized equities, could grow into a market worth trillions of dollars, highlighting the potential for blockchain-based securities to reshape trading infrastructure.
