OKX UAE, part of global fintech company OKX and regulated in Dubai by the Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA), today announced the expansion of its real-world asset (RWA) offering with the launch of tokenised U.S. stocks for UAE users, providing 24/7 access to price exposure to leading companies.

The launch gives eligible users access to over 80 tokenised stocks, including exposure to some of the world’s most closely followed technology and AI companies, directly from the same OKX account they use for digital assets.

The products can be traded around the clock, including weekends, while users can also build fractional positions without needing to purchase the equivalent of a full share.

For OKX UAE, the expansion marks a significant step beyond crypto, bringing traditional market exposure onto onchain infrastructure, building toward a platform where users can access more of the world’s markets through a single app. 

“The UAE has built one of the world’s most forward-looking environments for digital assets,” said Rifad Mahasneh, CEO of OKX MENA & CIS.

Mahasneh said real-world assets are a big part of that next phase.

By bringing exposure to leading US companies and major indices onchain through tokenised stocks, OKX is showing traditional investors how crypto-native infrastructure can support 24/7 trading and a more flexible way to access global markets.

He added that offering local AED funding and crypto in the same app is what the company means by its “One App. Every Market.” tagline.

What Users Can Do

With tokenised stocks on OKX UAE, users can trade 24/7, including on weekends, and get one-to-one price exposure to leading companies. They can also build fractional positions, automatically receive the economic benefit of eligible dividends, and manage crypto and tokenised stocks in one platform.

Users can connect any UAE bank account to deposit or withdraw AED almost instantly, with zero fees on AED deposits and withdrawals.

Tokenised US stocks are available to eligible OKX UAE users from 12 October 2026. Availability of specific assets, supported networks and onchain transfers may vary.
