Tokenized stock SPVs cluster in Jersey, the BVI and Abu Dhabi, with Jersey holding $651 million of the $2.93 billion market
Large issuers led by Ondo, Kraken's xStocks and Binance bStocks hold about 81% of $2.93 billion in tokenized stocks via offshore SPVs, RWA.xyz data shows. A holder's claim runs to the vehicle and not to the company behind the share, so issuer, custodian and governing law become part of what the buyer owns.
