For the first time, eligible non-U.S. clients can get instant, flexible exposure to some of America’s most iconic stocks and ETFs, directly from Kraken Pro’s advanced web, mobile app & desktop.
A new way to trade U.S. equities
xStocks are tokenized representations of real-world equities, backed 1:1 by the underlying stock or ETF. Meaning you can trade them 24/5 on Kraken Pro, or withdraw them anytime to your wallet, and use them across DeFi protocols — all while benefiting from tight spreads.
We’ve launched with 60 tokenized assets — including names like Apple (AAPLx), Tesla (TSLAx), and the S&P 500 ETF (SPYx) — and we’ll continue expanding the list over time.
Why trade xStocks on Kraken Pro?
With xStocks now in Kraken Pro, clients can:
Trade xStocks like crypto: Buy and sell tokenized U.S. equities alongside digital assets, derivatives, and more.
Use all the Pro tools: Access advanced charting, price alerts and 9+ order types including Iceberg, Trailing Stop and Take Profit.
Execute strategies with precision: Tap into full market depth, live order books and low-latency trade feeds.
Access markets beyond market hours: Trade 24/5, Sunday 8:00 p.m. ET through Friday 8:00 p.m. ET, and self-custody for 24/7 onchain use.

Competitive fees: At 0.1% for taker and rebate of -0.02% for maker volume.
