xStocks AAPLx$348.01-1.0% has tokenized more than 200 UK- and EU-listed stocks, bringing names such as HSBC, LVMH and Rolls-Royce onchain. The new tokens trade on Kraken from day one and are embedded in the DeFi markets where xStocks already trade, Solana among them, according to Payward's 11 November announcement.
xStocks listed LVMH, Rolls-Royce, HSBC, Airbus and SAP among the first names, and Payward added Shell, calling the rollout "the first international launch, with more markets to follow." xStocks launched more than a year ago with tokenized US stocks and ETFs. Payward says the catalogue now passes 1,500 tokenized assets, with more than $1.1 billion in assets under management, $45 billion in total transaction volume and more than 550,000 unique holders worldwide across all chains.
How GTN sources the HSBC, LVMH and SAP tokens
The launch delivers the partnership Payward signed with broker GTN in July, which named Hong Kong, the UK, Europe and South Korea as targets. GTN handles execution and custody of the shares behind each token, according to the release. The Block reported at the time that GTN connects to more than 90 markets.
Payward says "hundreds" of Hong Kong-listed stocks will follow "in the coming weeks."
Mark Greenberg, Payward's Chief Commercial Officer, framed the launch around access: "Access to capital markets is still drawn on a map, and it still depends on holding the right passport." Greenberg said tokenizing "every other international market is the next step."
Who can buy the new UK and EU xStocks
Payward says xStocks are available in more than 110 markets through Kraken and partner platforms in the xStocks Alliance. Two groups are excluded. The release states that xStocks "continue to be unavailable to investors in the United Kingdom" and are not available to US persons. The Defiant also reported that the rollout does not open xStocks to UK investors. A London resident can buy HSBC shares on the London Stock Exchange, but not the HSBC token.
The launch is separate from the London Stock Exchange deal Payward announced in September. That arrangement is still a plan: the November release says that "in 2027, subject to regulatory approval, the London Stock Exchange intends to list xStocks and start trading them on LSE 24."
What UK and EU tokenized stocks mean for Solana
On Solana, the new names join an xStocks catalogue whose US tokens already have a large onchain following, and Solana Compass token data shows how uneven that following is. As of 11 November 2026, the NVIDIA xStock (NVDAx) had more than 200,000 holders on Solana and a market value of about $56 million. The AstraZeneca xStock (AZNx), a token for the UK-headquartered drugmaker that was in the catalogue before this launch, had a little over 500 holders and a market value of about $16 million.
The release does not list Solana mint addresses for the new UK and EU tokens, so the thing to watch is when Solana trading pools for names such as HSBC and SAP open, and whether they draw a following closer to NVDAx or to AZNx.
