Assetera Opens Doors for Non-U.S. Investors to Trade Tokenized Stocks like Nvidia, Coinbase, and the S&P 500.

Assetera, a MiFID-licensed European trading platform built on Polygon, has launched a new offering that allows non-U.S. investors to trade tokenized assets linked to some of the most influential U.S. companies. The platform has partnered with Backed Finance to bring tokenized trackers for major companies like Coinbase (COIN), Nvidia (NVDA), and the S&P 500 (SPX) index to the market.

This new feature provides global investors with the ability to access these assets through blockchain-based tokens. The initial tokens available are fully backed by the underlying assets, with each bToken representing shares in the respective companies. The tokens are fully collateralized, issued under a European Union-approved prospectus, and provide secure, transparent, and 24/7 trading capabilities.

Assetera’s future plans include listing tokenized Treasury bills, bonds, money market funds, stablecoins, and private-credit tokens. These additions will serve liquidity-driven investors looking for a broad range of financial products. The platform is also enhancing user flexibility by ensuring that these tokens can be stored in any compatible wallet, as well as being able to move seamlessly across different blockchains thanks to Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol.

“By listing tokenized versions of traditional financial assets, we aim to provide global investors with unprecedented access to these markets,” said Thomas Labenbacher, CEO of Assetera. Adam Levi, co-founder of Backed Finance, added that the collaboration enables traditional financial instruments to be traded in a regulated, on-chain environment, expanding accessibility and liquidity.

Tokenization of assets through blockchain is seen as a transformative approach to modernizing financial markets. Blockchain’s ability to make assets available 24/7 and to enable instant transferability across global markets is unlocking opportunities that were previously unavailable. Boston Consulting Group’s 2022 projections suggest the tokenized asset market could grow to a massive $16 trillion by 2030.

In addition to these features, Assetera has implemented AI-driven real-time monitoring systems to ensure security and prevent fraudulent activities. This approach, combined with Backed Finance’s deep expertise in tokenization, creates a robust and secure environment for global investors to access and trade traditional assets on the blockchain.
