On October 20, 2026, the World Federation of Exchanges (WFE) published an analysis of 61 pairs of xStocks tokens and their corresponding stocks. The study used daily closing prices and excluded weekend data. The results showed that none of the sample pairs exhibited token-led price discovery; in the median sample, traditional stocks accounted for more than 80% of persistent price changes. The report also said that liquidity in the token market was an order of magnitude thinner than in the corresponding stock market. xStocks are not offered to U.S. customers and do not include voting rights or other shareholder rights.
