StableStock

Key milestones with long-term significance: 1) Seed funding round completed in August 2025, backed by YZi Labs, Matrix Partners China, and Vertex Ventures, validating the TraDeFi concept of stablecoin-based real stock trading. 2) Hong Kong stock trading launch in March 2026, adding 160+ HK-listed stocks and ETFs, extending coverage beyond US markets and establishing the multi-market bridge model. 3) Korean market expansion in September 2026, listing 300+ Korean stocks including Samsung Electronics and SK hynix, strengthening the platform's role in connecting stablecoin liquidity with global equity markets across Asia.

On September 1, 2026, StableStock launched Korean equities, letting users trade more than 300 Korean stocks and ETFs directly with stablecoins across semiconductors, autos, internet platforms, biotech and consumer names, including Samsung Electronics, SK hynix, Hyundai Motor, NAVER and Kakao. Every trade corresponds to real underlying shares executed through licensed institutions, with clearing and custody handled by regulated infrastructure.

StableStock's platform already covered US and Hong Kong equities, has served over 23,000 users and facilitated hundreds of millions of dollars in cumulative volume. Backers include YZi Labs, MPCi (Matrix Partners China) and Vertex Ventures.

StableStock is building on coverage of US, Hong Kong and over 300 Korean stocks and ETFs, expanding to stock markets in more countries and regions such as Japan and Southeast Asia, and opening an API for institutions to use real-share spot legs in market-neutral strategies. It launches a stock funding-rate strategy product where real trades executed by licensed institutions, settled and custodied under regulated infrastructure, become a composable stablecoin yield source, aiming to extend compliant equity tokenization from semiconductors and autos to financial and consumer sectors.
