Anchored Finance Launches US Tokenized Stocks to Expand Global Investor Access
Blog post from Alpaca
Anchored, a global digital operating system for real-world assets, has launched its first product, tokenized US stocks on Monad's Layer 1 network, starting with the top 10 Nasdaq-listed equities. Powered by Alpaca's brokerage infrastructure APIs, this initiative reflects a significant shift in global market management and trading, with a focus on transparency, instant settlement, and operational efficiency through blockchain technology. The tokenized stocks offer 1:1 asset backing, real-time price alignment, and institutional-grade compliance, allowing investors 24/7 transferability and liquidity comparable to traditional exchanges. This move is part of Anchored's broader mission to provide end-to-end infrastructure for the issuance, distribution, and trading of real-world assets on-chain, with future plans to include Hong Kong equities and tokenized fund products.
