That setup is designed to let non-US users access these stocks outside traditional market hours.nThe broader numbers behind the growthnBy October 15, 2026, the platform reported crossing $1 billion in assets under management. bStocks reported that figure makes it the fastest tokenized equity product to hit that threshold. Reaching the milestone took about four months from launch.nThe catalog has also grown well beyond the original five names. bStocks now lists nearly 100 tokens. Stock-to-token conversions on the platform have reached $6 billion at 1:1 backing. Cumulative trading volume has passed $40 billion.nWhy Circle, and why nownCircle Internet Group trades on the NYSE under the ticker CRCL. Its tokenized version has become one of the more closely tracked on-chain equity markets, with $373.3 million in total issuance across platforms.nWhen three competing issuers all offer the same underlying asset, market share becomes a fairly clean measure of who users trust and prefer. xStocks and Ondo built early footholds in tokenized equities. bStocks arrived later and still overtook both on Circle within months of its June debut.n","podcastEpisodeUrl":"","podcastName":"","isCommissioned":false}; window.googleNewsImg = "https:cryptobriefing.comwp-contentthemescryptobriefing-lovableassetsfollow-google-news.png"; window.homeUrl = "https:cryptobriefing.com"; window.ajaxUrl = "https:cryptobriefing.comwp-adminadmin-ajax.php"; window.primaryCatId = 89157; window.currentPostId = 398377; window.currentPublishDate = "2026-10-20 08:36:47"; SystemLightDark English Español Crypto Stocks Finance (2026-09-09 nav taxonomy migration).
