Road Town, British Virgin Islands, December 18th, 2025, Chainwire STON.fi, the leading AMM protocol on The Open Network (TON), announced that xStocks — tokenized equities — can now be accessed via integrated non-custodial swaps within the STON.fi app. With this addition, TON users can obtain blockchain-based tokenized exposure to traditional assets in a DeFi-native way without brokerage accounts or leaving TON ecosystem. xStocks are issued by Backed Finance, a regulated entity that holds the underlying real-world assets in accordance with its own documentation and licenses. Each token tracks the value of a specific equity or ETF and follows the TON jetton standard, enabling seamless on-chain transfers and self-custody at the token level. Their availability offers a frictionless path for crypto-native users to diversify into assets traditionally accessible only through centralized intermediaries. “Making xStocks available inside STON.fi gives eligible users immediate access to a new class of assets without compromising the self-custody and openness that define TON DeFi,” said Slavik Baranov, CEO of STON.fi Dev. “Users can now swap into well-known equities in seconds, construct multi-asset strategies, and manage their portfolios entirely in a non-custodial way.” A broad lineup of tokenized equities and ETFs is available at launch, including AAPLx, NVDAx, TSLAx, GOOGLx, AMZNx, and more, supporting both balanced and thematic portfolio construction on-chain. Because xStocks comply with the jetton standard, TON wallets recognize them automatically. Swaps finalize in seconds with low fees, and the entire flow — from asset selection to contract verification — runs seamlessly within STON.fi’s non-custodial smart contracts with a TON-native experience.  Eligible users can get started by opening the STON.fi app, selecting an xStock, and confirming the swap. The asset appears instantly in the user’s wallet as a standard jetton and remains accessible 24/7, independent of traditional market hours. xStocks are not available to US persons or…
