Crypto exchange Gemini has launched its first tokenized stock offering for users in the European Union, enabling onchain access to shares of Bitcoin-heavy Strategy (MSTR), the company led by Michael Saylor.
The move aims to simplify equity access for global investors. “Traditional markets are outdated and restrictive,” Gemini said, arguing that tokenized stocks offer a streamlined alternative with fewer barriers and more flexible trading.
Unlike traditional stock markets that operate on fixed hours and charge international fees, onchain stocks can be traded nearly anytime, anywhere. Through a partnership with tokenization provider Dinari, Gemini users will be able to hold both crypto and stocks within a single onchain environment, without needing to move assets across platforms.
The platform emphasized that these tokenized equities mirror the real-world assets they represent, including economic rights, where allowed by regulation. MSTR is the first listing, but Gemini says tokenized ETFs and additional stocks will follow shortly.
Strategy (previously known as MicroStrategy) shares have gained nearly 4% over the past month and are trading just under $384. Some analysts, like Jeff Walton, believe the stock could enter the S&P 500—assuming Bitcoin doesn’t dip below $95,240 by quarter’s end.
The launch comes amid a growing wave of tokenized equity projects across Europe. Competitors like Kraken and Robinhood are exploring similar offerings, while Coinbase is seeking SEC approval to launch tokenized stocks in the U.S.
Industry leaders see tokenized equities as a major financial frontier. STOKR CEO Arnab Naskar called it a “trillion-dollar opportunity” waiting to scale.
