Backed Finance has taken a significant step in the world of decentralized finance by officially registering in Switzerland. This strategic move enables the company to issue xStocks, which are digital representations of traditional stocks, including popular names like Tesla and Nvidia. The document provides a justification for the fact that this decision allows them to avoid the complexities of whitelisting tokenized shares.
Importance of a Permissionless Approach
Cofounder Adam Levi highlighted the importance of a permissionless approach in fostering greater adoption within the decentralized finance sector. By allowing users to trade digital stocks without the need for intermediaries, Backed Finance aims to democratize access to investment opportunities.
Growing Interest in xStocks
Currently, xStocks have garnered attention, attracting 30,300 unique holders, with Tesla tokens emerging as the most sought-after option. This growing interest underscores the potential of digital assets in reshaping investment landscapes.
Competitive Positioning Against Established Platforms
Thanks to this development, Backed Finance is positioning itself as a competitive player against the backdrop of well-known platforms such as Robinhood and Securitize, offering innovative solutions aimed at both retail and institutional investors. Using advanced technologies and user-friendly interfaces, the platform aims to provide improved accessibility, faster transaction processing, and a wider range of financial products.
Appeal to a New Generation of Investors
The ability to trade digital stock analogues may attract a new generation of investors looking for innovative ways to interact with the stock market. By combining traditional financial instruments with blockchain technology, this approach provides greater accessibility, lower barriers to entry, and flexibility in portfolio management.
