Hedera Introduces Tokenized Stocks, Bringing Real-World Assets to DeFi

The Hedera Foundation has joined forces with real-world assets (RWA) platform Swarm to launch tokenized equities directly on the Hedera network. This groundbreaking move allows investors to access digital versions of major stocks like Apple, MicroStrategy, and Tesla, each backed one-to-one by traditional shares. European regulatory approval will be key in unlocking their availability for both retail and institutional players.
