Tokenised Assets Backed by Blockchain Technology
On April 16, 2026, Anchored officially launched its innovative product, tokenised US stocks, on Monad’s high-performance Layer 1 network. Designed to give global investors unprecedented access, the product initially includes the top 10 Nasdaq-listed equities.
Powered by Alpaca, a leader in brokerage infrastructure APIs, the launch supports stocks, ETFs, fixed income, and crypto. Available through the Monday Trade integration, this advancement in the digital asset space utilises cutting-edge technology.
Wenny Cai, Co-Founder and CEO of Anchored, remarked, “Capital formation is moving on-chain, and the infrastructure needs to be institutional-grade from day one. With Anchored, investors can access fully backed tokenised US stocks through their existing digital asset infrastructure while trading 24/7.”
Features of the Tokenised Stocks
Investors gain access to the top 10 US Nasdaq stocks by market cap, with Anchored planning to expand to over 100 tokenised stocks soon. This allows 24/7 peer-to-peer transferability, enabling trades beyond traditional market hours.
Every tokenised stock is backed 1:1 by actual US stocks, providing institutional-grade liquidity. Utilising USDC for daily settlements enhances transparency and operational efficiency through blockchain technology.
Yoshi Yokokawa, Co-Founder and CEO of Alpaca, commented, “We are moving toward a future defined by atomic settlement and real-time transparency. Through our collaboration with partners like Anchored, we’re proud to support institutions leading this transition.”
Future plans include expanding offerings to include Hong Kong equities, ETFs, and tokenised fund products. Anchored demonstrates its commitment to building comprehensive infrastructure for real-world asset tokenisation.
The total value of tokenised US equities has surged nearly 300% since early 2025, with Alpaca as the primary infrastructure powering this growth. Such figures highlight a critical shift in managing and trading value in global markets.
Anchored purchases underlying US equities and tokenises them, issuing fully backed on-chain representations and reducing the need for intermediaries. This approach brings transparency, instant settlement, and operational efficiency of blockchain technology to traditional equities under a compliance-first framework.
Anchored plans to integrate more asset classes, including fixed income and crypto, to enhance the versatility of their platform. This will enable a broader range of investment opportunities for global investors.
According to industry insiders, the move to tokenised stocks signifies a major transformation in the financial landscape. By leveraging blockchain technology, Anchored is poised to redefine how traditional assets are viewed and traded globally.
