In a move reflecting the ongoing integration of traditional markets with blockchain technology, Kraken has launched its xStocks product to provide access to SpaceX pre-IPO equity. This launch is part of a broader surge in the tokenized Real World Assets (RWAs) sector, aimed at bringing liquidity to private company shares. According to reports, prediction markets are currently experiencing significant growth, outpacing the expansion of traditional on-chain gambling platforms.
This trend emerges as major platforms compete for dominance in the tokenization space, with industry estimates suggesting the RWA market could reach trillions of dollars by the end of the decade. Compared to peers, Kraken's move targets retail traders seeking exposure to high-profile tech giants like SpaceX, a strategy mirrored by platforms such as Polymarket, which has seen record volumes in prediction markets this year per market data.
