Sometimes the development of an ecosystem is evident not by the number of new tokens, but by the tasks that begin to be solved within it. $TON is currently in such a period. The appearance of xStocks on STONfi is not a minor update, but a sign that the network infrastructure is beginning to work with more complex tools.

xStocks look unusual precisely because they break the old division between crypto on one side and traditional markets on the other. Now, tokenized versions of stocks like Apple exist in the same space where previously there were only DeFi tokens and gaming assets. And you can work with them in exactly the same way through your wallet, on-chain.

Importantly, there is no sense of compromise here. Users do not sacrifice decentralization for access to familiar assets, nor do they get a complex structure instead of a simple tool. xStocks fit organically into the existing logic, with the same swap format, the same storage principles, and the same transparency of operations that many are already accustomed to within the network.

As a result, STONfi acts as an infrastructure point through which such assets become part of the everyday on-chain experience. And the more such solutions appear in $TON , the more obvious it becomes that the network is moving towards long-term use rather than one-off scenarios.
