Crypto.com's 1,500 tokenized stock derivatives go live in Europe from $1, as the tokenized equity market hits $2.49B and rivals expand.
Crypto.com launched tokenized derivatives that track the price of 1,500 U.S. stocks and ETFs, including Apple and Nvidia as well as the SPDR Gold Shares and iShares Silver Trust. Eligible users in the European Economic Area and other approved markets can open positions from $1. Trading runs 24 hours a day.
The instruments are synthetic derivatives issued by Foris Capital CY. If Apple’s price rises, the corresponding product replicates that movement. The holder does not become a shareholder. There are no voting rights or other equity claims. Dividend-equivalent adjustments may apply. The underlying assets are custodied at Alpaca, a U.S. broker-dealer registered with the SEC.
Crypto.com acquired Foris Capital in May 2025, gaining a MiFID license to offer regulated financial products in Europe. CoinGecko ranks Crypto.com as the 11th largest exchange by volume. The company said the launch offers 24/7 access to U.S. equity exposure from Europe, with no commission for a limited time.
The tokenized stock market reached roughly $2.49 billion in total value, a 600% increase over the past year, according to RWA.xyz. Citi estimated the segment could grow to $5.5 trillion by 2030, with $2.6 trillion in tokenized stocks alone. Nvidia, one of the underlying names in the Crypto.com product, currently carries an Alpha Score of 74 on AlphaScala, reflecting moderate momentum.
Other platforms have moved into the space. Kraken, Bybit, Bitget and Robinhood launched similar products for investors outside the U.S. Bybit added Meta and Tesla xStocks earlier this year, with the tokenized equity market hitting $1.48 billion at the time. The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation is testing infrastructure for tokenized securities. Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange announced their own initiatives.
Not all models work the same way. Synthetic or derivative products like Crypto.com's track a stock's price without giving the buyer ownership. Issuer-sponsored models transfer real shares to the blockchain, preserving shareholder rights. Crypto.com's approach fits the synthetic model, which carries counterparty risk but allows smaller minimums and continuous trading.
