1:1 anchoring, full custody, and on-chain settlement—the complete set—but whether the liquidity depth can handle the scale of major flows and volumes, such as those tied to Apple and Nvidia, remains to be seen

ME News reported on April 18 that EX IO and Anchored have reached a strategic distribution partnership for tokenized U.S. stocks, planning to launch a 1:1 pegged tokenized product tied to real U.S. stocks. Each token is fully backed by U.S. stocks held in custody by FINRA-registered brokers. Anchored is responsible for issuance, custody, and on-chain settlement. The first batch will cover U.S. stock giants such as Apple and Nvidia, as well as some blue-chip stocks, supports fractional shares, 24/5 trading, and integrates liquidity from Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange.
