Kraken to Offer Tokenized Stock Trading for Non-US Users via Solana and Backed

Kraken, a major cryptocurrency exchange, is rolling out a new feature that lets users outside the U.S. trade tokenized versions of big-name stocks like Apple, Tesla, and Nvidia. These digital shares, built on the Solana blockchain with help from Backed, aim to make U.S. equities more accessible to global retail and institutional investors—without the usual hurdles of traditional markets.
