TOKENIZED ASSETS

1inch now swaps 77 tokenized stocks. What do buyers actually own?

Eligible users can now swap 77 bStocks through 1inch on BNB Chain. The interface is familiar, but the tokens are issuer-defined claims rather than direct company shares.

Eligible users can now type Nvidia, Tesla or Microsoft into 1inch and swap for a blockchain token linked to that stock.

The interface looks like an ordinary crypto trade. Choose BNB Chain, select a bStock, review the route and confirm it in a wallet.

What arrives is not an Nvidia or Tesla share held directly in your name. It is a token issued by BTECH Holdings with rights defined by that issuer.

That distinction matters more than the headline number of 77 supported assets.

What 1inch added

1inch now surfaces 77 bStocks inside its app and wallet on BNB Chain. The list includes tokens linked to individual companies and exchange-traded funds.

These are tokenized stocks: blockchain tokens designed to track exposure to an underlying security. BTECH Holdings issues them as BEP-20 tokens. According to the issuer, each is backed one-to-one by the linked stock or fund held with a regulated custodian.

1inch is explicit about the limit of that statement. A bStock is not the same as directly owning the underlying share, and the holder’s rights come from the issuer’s arrangement.

The integration is also restricted by geography. 1inch says the assets are not available in the United States, United Kingdom and other restricted jurisdictions.

What happens when someone swaps

Suppose an eligible trader wants an Nvidia-linked bStock called NVDAB.

They open 1inch, choose BNB Chain and enter the asset they want to spend. The app searches available onchain liquidity for a route into NVDAB. The trader sees the expected rate and transaction path before confirming.

The useful part is aggregation. Liquidity for tokenized equities can be split across several pools and venues. 1inch attempts to find a route instead of forcing the user to check each venue manually.

The walkthrough shows route discovery in the product. It does not measure the final execution price or prove a completed trade. Original post.

Why 24-hour access can be misleading

The token can move onchain when the US stock market is closed. The underlying share cannot continuously form a new public-market price during those hours.

That creates a practical risk. A bStock may trade away from the last available share price when news breaks overnight or weekend liquidity becomes thin. The difference can close when markets reopen, but a trader who needs to exit earlier may accept a worse rate.

Slippage is the difference between the displayed quote and the effective price of a trade. It tends to grow when a pool is shallow or an order is large. Putting an asset in an aggregator does not automatically make it liquid.

The question matches the liquidity and off-hours pricing risks disclosed by 1inch. Original post.

Backing is not the same as shareholder rights

The phrase “backed one-to-one” answers only part of the question.

It describes the issuer’s claim about assets held with a custodian. It does not by itself tell a buyer whether they can redeem directly, receive voting rights, collect dividends in the same way as a shareholder or make a claim if the issuer fails.

1inch says it does not issue, custody or manage bStocks and makes no warranty about backing, redemption or performance. That places the issuer relationship outside the swap interface even though the trade happens inside it.

What traders should check before swapping

The 77-asset catalog is useful only when a particular route is usable. Before confirming, a trader should inspect:

  1. The exact token contract. A familiar ticker is not enough.
  2. The issuer’s rights and redemption terms. These determine what the token represents.
  3. Pool depth and expected slippage. Each bStock can have different liquidity.
  4. The underlying market’s hours. A 24-hour token can move while the reference share is not trading.
  5. Jurisdictional eligibility. Wallet access does not remove legal restrictions.

1inch has made tokenized stocks easier to find. It has not made them identical to stocks, nor has it made every route deep. The next useful test is not how many tickers appear in the menu. It is how six very different bStocks execute at realistic sizes during and outside US market hours.
