MoonX xStocks FAQ

What is xStocks on MoonX?
xStocks are tokenized representations of U.S. stocks and ETFs (such as Apple, Tesla, or the S&P 500 ETF) launched by Backed in May 2025.
Each xStock token is backed 1:1 by the corresponding real-world asset and can be traded 24/7 on the MoonX Spot Market using SOL.
This enables crypto traders to gain exposure to U.S. equities directly on-chain without leaving the blockchain ecosystem.
How are xStocks backed 1:1?
Each xStock token is fully collateralized with the equivalent number of underlying shares, held by a regulated independent custodian on behalf of the issuer.
- For every xStock minted, one real stock share is reserved.
- This ensures a 1:1 economic link between the token and the underlying equity.
