Vida Announces Listing of Equity Tokenisation (VIDAx) on Payward's xStocks
Austin, Texas — Vida Global, Inc. (NYSE American: VIDA, NYSE Texas: VIDA), an AI Agent Operating System for businesses, has announced the listing of its equity tokenisation on xStocks to expand investor access across more than 10 countries. xStocks is a leading industry equity tokenisation framework developed by Payward.
The listing of the VIDAx asset tokenisation follows Vida’s recent initial public offering (IPO) on NYSE American LLC and NYSE Texas, Inc., marking the company’s entry into the US public capital markets. The addition of Vida’s equity tokenisation to Payward’s xStocks range represents a significant expansion, allowing eligible investors outside the US to gain economic exposure to Vida’s shares through digital assets.
“We are committed to driving innovation in the capital markets by ensuring Vida is accessible to investors worldwide,” said Lyle Pratt, Founder and CEO of Vida. “The listing of our shares on the xStocks platform via Kraken opens new, meaningful channels for international investors increasingly engaged with US stocks through digital assets. We believe that, combined with our listing on NYSE American and NYSE Texas, access to Vida’s equity tokenisation provides a strong foundation for building a truly global investor base.”
xStocks has grown rapidly as the largest equity tokenisation provider, with a combined transaction volume exceeding $30 billion and over 125,000 unique token holders globally. The framework supports over 100 tokenised stock ETFs and is designed to be multi-chain and interoperable, allowing assets to move seamlessly between wallets, protocols, and trading platforms. As an asset tokenisation, VIDAx will integrate seamlessly across the xStocks ecosystem, unlocking various utilities beyond mere exposure, and is available for trading on the Kraken platform today.
