INX, a regulated marketplace for digital securities, in collaboration with Backed, a leader in real-world asset tokenization, has announced the listing of tokenized stock on the INX platform for eligible non-US users.
This innovation promises to enhance accessibility, liquidity, and security for global investors, especially those outside the US.
