Dealing's 24,343 Tokenised Stocks: Why Scale Changes The Investment Access Story

(MENAFN- Mid-East Info) Dealing's Guinness World RecordsTM achievement puts a number on something the investment industry has been working towards for years: using technology to give investors broader access to global markets at meaningful scale.

The financial industry has spent years proving that stocks can be tokenised. The focus now is on how far that idea can scale.

For much of the tokenised-equities market, the answer has so far been measured in hundreds or, in some cases, low thousands of stocks and ETFs. Finvasia-backed global investment platform, Dealing has taken a fundamentally different approach, with 24,343 tokenised stocks available for trading through a single platform, the highest number independently verified by Guinness World RecordsTM.

That difference in scale matters. If tokenization simply gives investors digital versions of the same small group of prominent stocks they could already access, little changes from an investor's point of view.

At 24,343 stocks, the conversation becomes bigger, moving from whether a stock can be tokenised to whether tokenisation can help investors access a substantially broader part of the world's public markets through a single investment experience.

“The industry has already demonstrated that stocks can be tokenised. The next challenge is whether tokenization can genuinely broaden investment access at scale,” says Tajinder Virk, co-founder and CEO of Finvasia Group and Dealing.“Providing more than 24,000 tokenised stocks required us to build the market connectivity, regulatory relationships, custody, and technology capable of supporting that much larger universe.”

Several prominent tokenised-equity offerings publicly describe universes measured in hundreds or low thousands of securities rather than tens of thousands. Robinhood, for example, launched its European Stock Tokens offering in 2025 with more than 200 US stocks and ETFs and has since expanded to more than 2,000. xStocks currently offers more than 700 tokenised stocks and ETFs.

Dealing's 24,343, therefore, does not represent an incremental increase in choice. It represents a different order of magnitude. Because tokenization should expand the market, not just digitize the obvious.

Looking beyond the most obvious opportunities:

An investment idea rarely stops at one company or one market. Take artificial intelligence: an investor may begin with the major technology names, but the opportunity stretches into semiconductor manufacturing, data centers, networking, energy, cooling systems, and industrial automation across different companies, markets, and market caps.

Dealing's tokenised stock universe makes it possible to explore more of that ecosystem through one platform while bringing the benefits of tokenised infrastructure with it. Transactions can settle in around six seconds, investors participate in the economic performance of the underlying stock, and corporate actions such as dividends and stock splits are reflected accordingly.

“Investors increasingly think beyond a single market,” says Virk.“Tokenization gives us the infrastructure to make that wider opportunity more accessible while preserving the economic exposure investors expect from the underlying stock.”

24,343 is also an infrastructure story:

Creating a digital representation of one security is one challenge; supporting more than 24,000 of them consistently is another.

Every additional security and market introduces operational requirements around market data, custody, corporate actions, regulatory frameworks, trading infrastructure, security, and technology. Those requirements multiply as the universe expands.

Behind the 24,343 stocks sits infrastructure connecting real-time multi-market data, token issuance processes, custodial relationships across relevant jurisdictions, compliance systems, and cybersecurity.

The investor may see one stock on one screen, but behind it, multiple systems need to work together. At this scale, tokenisation stops being only a technology story and becomes a market-infrastructure story.

Dealing's wider platform currently provides access to 70,000+ investment opportunities across 15+ global exchanges, serves investors across 120+ countries, and is supported by more than 30 licenses and registrations worldwide.

Tokenisation itself is moving from pilot to scale:

Tokenisation is no longer a fringe experiment in financial services. McKinsey estimates that total tokenised market capitalization could reach approximately $2 trillion by 2030, excluding cryptocurrencies and stablecoins, while noting that the industry is moving from pilots towards at-scale development as infrastructure matures.

The next phase will therefore be judged less by whether financial assets can exist on blockchain-based infrastructure and more by whether that infrastructure can solve meaningful problems at scale.

For tokenised equities, breadth is one of those tests: can platforms move beyond a limited collection of high-demand stocks and give investors access companies across more markets and sectors? Can custody, compliance, and market connectivity scale alongside the number of assets, while ultimately producing a simpler experience for the investor?

Dealing's 24,343-stock record provides one real-world answer to those questions.

A different benchmark for tokenised investing

Dealing has already been recognized by Guinness World RecordsTM, but the more interesting question now is what the record tells the industry.

For the first phase of tokenised equities, success meant proving that publicly traded stocks could be represented and made accessible through blockchain-based infrastructure.

The next phase is more demanding. It is about scale, market breadth, interoperability, regulation, investor understanding, and whether tokenization can materially improve the way people access global financial markets.

“The record is important, but the number is really evidence of something larger. If the infrastructure can support more than 24,000 tokenised stocks today, the conversation should no longer be about whether global investment access can expand. It should be about how far we can take it”, concludes Virk.

The significance of Dealing's milestone therefore extends beyond the record itself, shifting the question from“Can we tokenise stocks?” to“How much of the world's market should an investor be able to access?”

As tokenisation moves from experimentation towards scaled financial infrastructure, 24,343 represents a new benchmark for what that access could look like- and how much further it could go.

For Dealing, 24,343 is only the beginning.
