币界网报道：Gemini, the cryptocurrency exchange founded by the Winklevoss twins, has expanded its tokenized stock offerings to the European Union, allowing users to trade fractional shares of major companies like Tesla, Apple, and Amazon. The new service, available to EU customers, enables trading of these tokenized equities 24/7 through Gemini’s platform, bypassing traditional market hours. Each token represents a fraction of a real stock and is backed 1:1 by the underlying security, held by a third-party custodian. The move follows Gemini’s earlier rollout of tokenized stocks in the U.S. and aims to provide European investors with easier access to U.S. equities without dealing with foreign exchange complexities. The exchange emphasized regulatory compliance, noting that the offering adheres to EU financial regulations and is available only to verified users. This expansion aligns with growing interest in tokenized traditional assets, as crypto platforms increasingly bridge the gap between digital and conventional finance. However, Gemini cautioned that tokenized stocks do not confer shareholder rights like voting or dividends, though price movements mirror those of the actual stocks. The launch comes amid heightened scrutiny of crypto exchanges in Europe, with regulators pushing for clearer rules around digital asset services.
