Crypto Exchange Gemini has launched tokenized Strategy (MSTR) shares for customers in the EU, so that the start is marked by the rollout of Tokenized US shares on blockchain networks.
The offer made possible by a partnership with tokenization platform Dinari, allows Gemini users to buy fractional shares of strategy as tokens on the chain that are supported by real effects.
MSTR TOKENS will initially be available at Arbitrum (ARB), with plans to extend to extra networks in the near future, the exchange said in his 27 June announcement.
Gemini said that the relocation aims to democratize access to US shares by combining traditional shares with the 24/7 liquidity and accessibility of cryptom markets.
According to the exchange:
“Everyone in the world with a smartphone and an internet connection can have access to tokenized US shares such as MSTR on the blockchain.”
The company is planning to add more tokenized shares and ETFs in the coming days, to position the product as a way to “export US shares around the world” and to make boundless financial participation possible.
Gemini emphasized that tokenized shares grant the same economic rights as the underlying shares, where permitted, while offers benefits, such as fractional ownership, reduced transaction friction and direct settlement on the chain.
Tokenized shares have come forward as an alternative gateway to US stock markets for global investors who are confronted with high currency conversion costs and limited access to the brokerage.
Gemini said that the launch is part of his broader vision to modernize financial rails by combining traditional assets with blockchain infrastructure.
Gemini is one of the first major exchanges that strive for tokenized shares in compliance -oriented areas of law. The launch comes in the midst of increasing institutional interest in digital asset rails for traditional securities control and guardianship.
