Kraken Says xStocks Tokenized Equity Lineup Tops 1,000

The scale-up from a small pilot to a four-digit catalog signals that tokenized equity is moving from experiment toward product line, and Kraken is staking out catalog breadth as its differentiator. The design choice matters more than the count: price exposure without shareholder rights keeps these instruments in a regulatory gray zone and lets Kraken stay offshore from U.S. persons, which limits the addressable market while reducing compliance friction. The open question is whether breadth alone builds liquidity, or whether a thousand thinly traded tokens simply spreads the same demand thinner.
