HTX opens trading in 20 tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs

HTX scheduled deposits to open at 08:00 UTC on November 9. SPCX/USDT trading was set for 09:00 UTC and CRCL/USDT for 10:00 UTC, with more pairs to follow as liquidity becomes available. The exchange has not given a date for withdrawals to begin.

The listing includes tokens linked to Nvidia, Tesla, Circle and Strategy, among other assets. HTX named 20 tickers, including SNDK, SOXL, SPCX, CRCL, MSTR, MU, TSLA, NVDA, INTC, AMD, QQQ, TQQQ and GOOGL. The offering includes both individual companies and ETFs, including leveraged products. Initially, HTX supports bStocks tokens on BNB Smart Chain and has published contract addresses for all 20 assets.

HTX says bStocks are backed by underlying securities or other eligible assets, with arrangements set out in each issuer’s documentation. The exchange does not identify a specific custodian. Token holders do not directly own the shares and generally cannot vote; treatment of dividends, stock splits and other corporate actions depends on issuer terms. HTX also describes the products as tokenized derivatives whose prices may diverge from the securities they track.

A zero-maker-fee promotion runs from November 9, 2026, through February 9, 2027; standard taker fees still apply. HTX has not published a complete list of eligible countries or confirmed whether U.S. residents can trade the tokens. Sun’s post also referred to Poloniex, but HTX’s listing terms do not specify that exchange’s assets or launch schedule.

The launch comes after other crypto platforms added stock-related products. Binance introduced bStocks in June, while Kraken has offered U.S. stock trading to eligible European customers alongside tokenized xStocks.

Sun’s SEC case was resolved in March 2026, when the regulator dismissed its claims against him, Tron Foundation and BitTorrent Foundation with prejudice. A federal court’s March 9 final judgment required Rainberry to pay a $10 million civil penalty. The defendants agreed to the resolution without admitting or denying the allegations. HTX had not responded by press time to crypto.news questions about backing, custody, eligibility and the Poloniex rollout.
