FollowingAlpha Ladder Finance launches xStocks tokenized shares to accelerate the deployment of Asian institutional markets
Alpha Ladder Finance, a wealth management agency headquartered in Singapore, announced on September 11 that it has opened access to Payward's xStocks tokenized shares through the operation of its Alpha Ladder WealthX platform. According to an announcement released by the company, the move makes Alpha Ladder one of the first licensed wealth management companies in the region to provide global tokenized stock services.
From licensed wealth platforms to tokenized stocks
The background of this launch is the signing of a memorandum of understanding between Alpha Ladder, MetaComp and Payward to promote the development of tokenized capital markets in the Asia-Pacific region. Under the cooperation agreement, Alpha Ladder will serve as xStocks 'distribution partner in selected regional markets, provided that eligibility, occupancy and compliance requirements are met.
This launch marks the expansion of Alpha Ladder's WealthX product portfolio from traditional investment products to one of the fastest growing segments of the digital capital market, enabling eligible investors to access global tokenized stock allocation opportunities through established wealth management relationships. The three companies said they will continue to explore more tokenization opportunities in the future, including expanding more product types, counterparties and application scenarios.
xStocks How to convert listed stocks into 1:1 collateral tokens
Developed by Kraken's parent company Payward, xStocks achieves fully mortgaged and 1:1 endorsement tokenization by mapping listed company stocks to blockchain infrastructure. This mechanism combines the exposure of global stocks, round-the-clock availability and the advantages of digital native settlement. According to Dune Analytics data quoted in the announcement, xStocks currently lists more than 700 assets, with a cumulative transaction volume of more than US$40 billion, and more than 200,000 independent holders.
Institutional interest in tokenization is growing
This release comes at a time when tokenized securities are gaining widespread recognition in the institutional market. According to CoinGecko data quoted in the announcement, as of the end of March 2026, the value of real-world assets (RWAs) on the chain was approximately US$19.3 billion, compared with only approximately US$5.4 billion in January 2025.
A 2026 survey jointly conducted by EY and Coinbase showed that 63% of institutional investors around the world said their companies are "very interested" in tokenized assets, up from 57% a year ago. At the same time, tokenized stock products have continued to expand through cooperative models, such as Payward's previous partnership with GTN. McKinsey also estimates that excluding cryptocurrencies, the total market value of monetization could reach approximately US$2 trillion by the 2030s.
As tokenization is further integrated into mainstream capital markets, the industry focus is shifting from "whether financial assets can be put on the chain" to "how to access them through channels that meet institutional governance, entry processes and compliance expectations."
