Bitrue opens stock trading to the 24/7 blockchain clock, but there’s a fine print

Tokenized actions promise investments without friction for the masses. But while Bitrue deploys the Nvidia, Tesla and Apple tokens, a critical question persists: what exactly do you buy? Tip: it’s not equity.

According to a press release shared with Crypto.News on July 4, Crypto Exchange Bitrue launched tokeneded US Stock Trading via XSTOCKS, a partnership with Backed Finance based in Switzerland.

Digital assets, tokenized representations of NVIDIA, Tesla and Apple actions, are now available on the Bitrue Alpha trading platform. They can be purchased and sold using the USDT 24 hours a day, without the need for a traditional brokerage account or membership at American market hours.

“We are working to decompose the barriers of traditional finances that often exclude small investors, and now our users have a new avenue to extend their portfolio in a way that can provide them with real yields,” said Adam O’Neill, director of marketing at Bitd.

However, the compromise is clear: although these assets follow the performance of actual actions, they do not grant property rights, dividends or voting power.

Tokenized stocks: promise and compromise

The entry of Bitrue into Tokenized actions calls into question the guardians of the traditional financial system. Thanks to its partnership with Backed Finance, the exchange offers an exhibition to American brand actions without the usual access barriers.

The appeal for users lies in convenience. The assets can be purchased and sold using the USDT, settled in a few seconds and accessible 24/7 without counting on a brokerage house or a traditional exchange

Although this opens up new opportunities for global investors who have generally been excluded from American actions, it is delivered with essential warnings which underline the distinction between exposure and property.

According to Bitrue disclosure, these tokens did not equivalent to real actions. Investors do not receive any dividend, voting rights or participation in business shares. Essentially, users buy synthetic exposure to stock performance, not equity.

This distinction becomes more significant compared to emerging platforms which pursue more complete onchain action models.

Meanwhile, the landscape of traditional tokenized assets is becoming more and more congested, with major actors like Bybit, Kraken and Robinhood introducing all their own versions while browsing carefully at the regulatory borders.

Bitrue’s strength lies in simplicity and immediate usefulness, but the next wave of more programmable tokenized assets can force all participants to reconsider the value they really provide beyond synthetic monitoring.
