OKX UAE Launches Tokenized U.S. Stocks for Round-the-Clock Trading

OKX has rolled out tokenized U.S. stocks on its United Arab Emirates platform. The exchange operates under a license from the Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority, or VARA, Dubai's dedicated crypto regulator. The addition lets users in the region trade blockchain-based representations of shares in major global companies. Tokenized stocks are digital tokens designed to track the price of an underlying equity. They allow holders exposure to a company's share performance without directly owning the stock through a traditional brokerage. By issuing these tokens on a crypto exchange, OKX is blending traditional equity markets with blockchain-based trading infrastructure.
