May 5, 2026 — Wallet V, a multi-chain Web3 wallet incubated by Virgo Group, today announced a strategic partnership with Payward, the developer of the xStocks framework, to officially bring tokenized stocks to its global user base. This collaboration enables eligible users worldwide to access tokenized pricing exposure to leading stocks and ETFs 24/7, with no minimum trade amount required.

xStocks are tokenized assets fully collateralized 1:1 with publicly traded stocks, designed to bring traditional financial assets onto blockchain infrastructure. Since its launch in June 2025, xStocks has facilitated over $30 billion in trading volume and surpassed 100,000 unique holders worldwide—demonstrating sustained market demand for "time-zone-free, borderless" stock trading.

In Wallet V, users can freely buy, hold, and transfer xStocks just like any other digital asset. These assets are fully composable, freely transferable, and accessible without requiring a traditional brokerage account or any intermediary.

For billions of users outside the United States, participating in the world’s largest stock market previously involved cumbersome account opening processes, regional access restrictions, limited trading hours, and high minimum investment thresholds. The integration of Wallet V and xStocks has completely broken down these barriers—providing global users with a more open and accessible pathway to capital markets.

For investors who already have traditional brokerage accounts, xStocks on Wallet V adds an additional layer of flexibility—users can trade tokenized stocks outside regular market hours, bypassing the limitations of traditional stock market opening times. This means users can respond in real time to after-hours earnings reports, weekend macro events, or breaking news without waiting for the market to open.
