Subject to the required licences, it also plans to bring tokenised assets to GTN’s institutional network* DUBAI, UAE and ST. HELIER, Jersey, July 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — [GTN,](https://gtngroup.com/) the fintech powering limitless investment, and Payward, the developer of the xStocks tokenised equities framework and parent company of Kraken, have partnered to enhance and accelerate the global expansion of the xStocks offering. The partnership unlocks a pathway for xStocks to significantly scale the range of equities it tokenises, beginning by tokenising equities listed in Hong Kong, before expanding to tokenise UK-listed assets, European assets, South Korean assets, and more, delivering an unrivalled breadth of international market access that no other tokenised framework offers today. It also opens the opportunity to expand xStocks beyond tokenised equities for the first time, broadening the framework to new tokenised asset classes. For individual holders, it means tokenised assets from markets across the world and multiple asset classes can sit side-by-side in one portfolio, held onchain, tradeable 24/7, and portable across the 100+ exchanges, wallets, and DeFi applications where xStocks already trade. GTN provides the global execution and custody for the traditional assets underlying xStocks’ expansion. Spanning a broad range of asset classes across 90+ markets through a single integration, GTN is the partner making the next phase of xStocks possible, providing a route to scale its tokenised offering beyond U.S. equities to equities listed in international markets and, over time, new asset classes, each subject to regulatory approvals. Tokenisation’s promise has always been to make the world’s markets accessible to more people from a single place, and this partnership is a key step toward that goal. Under the agreement, GTN provides infrastructure to support the ledgering and record-keeping of tokenised products, helping token issuers account for the underlying assets. Subject to GTN obtaining the required licences in each market, GTN would also make a range of xStocks available to its institutional clients alongside its existing offering. Because GTN reaches a range of asset classes across 90+ markets, the partnership also creates pathways for the xStocks ecosystem to diversify the assets it lists to the hundreds of centralised exchanges, self-custody wallets, and DeFi protocols where it already trades. "For decades, we’ve accepted that capital markets should be fragmented by country, currency, and market hours," said Mark Greenberg, Global Head of Payward Services. "That’s a legacy financial infrastructure problem. The biggest asset class that hasn’t been tokenized yet is the rest of the world, and our partnership with GTN is about changing that. One asset at a time, we’re bringing truly global capital markets onchain until geography becomes irrelevant to investing." "Financial institutions want to move into new asset classes and markets without rebuilding their technology. Our infrastructure lets partners like Payward launch quickly across 90+ markets and a full range of instruments, and it includes the sub-accounting technology Kraken needs to offer tokenised products. We are delighted that Payward has selected GTN as a global product expansion partner," said Ankit Shah, Global Head of FinTech, GTN. xStocks launched a year ago with tokenised U.S. stocks and ETFs, backed 1:1 by the underlying assets. It has since grown and broadened to more than 500 tokenised assets spanning equities, ETFs, and IPOs, the widest range offered by any tokenised equities framework, and now power over $35 billion dollars in transaction volume across multiple blockchain ecosystems, and has amassed nearly 200,000 holders across the world. The GTN partnership marks the start of its next phase, extending that framework beyond U.S. capital markets for investors around the world. The partnership is already live, with tokenised distribution to GTN’s institutional clients to follow once the required licences are in place. By combining GTN’s regulated infrastructure with Payward’s platform, the two companies aim to make a wider range of assets and markets accessible to institutions worldwide, and will share details on enhanced offerings in the coming weeks. **About Payward** Payward, Inc. is a unified financial infrastructure platform that powers a family of products advancing an open, global financial system.
