MyStonks Launches Industry-Leading On-Chain U.S. Stock-Token Marketplace with 100% Custody Backing

Published

on

NEW YORK, May 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — MyStonks.org, a decentralized trading platform, announced the official launch of a fully custody-backed, on-chain U.S. stock token marketplace in the crypto industry. Cryptocurrency users can purchase U.S. stocks on MyStonks. Global asset management giant Fidelity provides custodial services for platform users, with an initial custody asset total of $50 million.

MyStonks has successfully established a complete operational cycle that links U.S. stock assets under Fidelity Custody to the Base blockchain for token minting and burning. Users can initiate purchases of Stonks100 stock tokens on MyStonks by transferring USDC or USDT from their self-custodied crypto wallets. Upon confirmation, MyStonks converts these stablecoins into USD and purchases the corresponding stock shares. These are then tokenized 1:1 into ERC-20 tokens via Base smart contracts. For example, when buying Apple shares, users receive AAPL.M tokens minted by MyStonks.org, representing the exact number of shares held. Token pricing utilizes Chainlink oracles.

If users wish to redeem their stock tokens, they can initiate a sell request for AAPL.M or other supported assets directly from their wallets. MyStonks will then convert the tokens back into stablecoins and burn the equivalent tokens in a 1:1 ratio.

To ensure the security of user assets, MyStonks has partnered with Fidelity, which provides custody services (Fidelity Custody) for platform users’ U.S. stock holdings.

According to a custodial statement dated April 29, 2025, Fidelity Custody holds over $50 million in U.S. equities ($50,473,199.00) on behalf of MyStonks Holding Limited. The initial batch of 95 tokenized equities includes major names such as AAPL, AMZN, DIS, GOOGL, META, MSFT, NFLX, and NVDA, each of which is mirrored on-chain by its respective token.

A representative from MyStonks explained that when users purchase U.S. stock tokens on the platform, the corresponding stocks are managed by Fidelity Custody, ensuring the authenticity, compliance, and auditability of assets. Through integration with Fidelity Custody’s infrastructure, MyStonks has achieved a seamless connection between on-chain tokens and off-chain stock assets.

As a trusted institution in TradFi, Fidelity plays a key role in safeguarding asset security and compliance, making it an important partner for MyStonks in the tokenization of stock trading.

Additionally, MyStonks has upgraded its on-chain trading security and user experience. When users initiate buy or sell orders, the platform executes the corresponding operations on the blockchain, including cross-chain asset management, real stock transactions, and the minting or burning of tokens. The entire process is transparent, traceable, and decentralized, enabling users to purchase U.S. stocks in a fully digital and tokenized manner.

All trading operations are governed by smart contracts to ensure immutability and auditability. A Decentralized Identity System (DID) safeguards account uniqueness and prevents fraudulent transactions. Core smart contracts have undergone security audits and are modularly designed to isolate risk. According to MyStonks.org, off-chain fund transfers require multisignature (multisig) wallet authorization to avoid single points of failure. Cross-chain asset movements are executed through audited protocols. Additional protections include a time-lock mechanism for transaction confirmation and HTTPS/HSTS enforcement for frontend encryption.

New user experience upgrades include support for on-chain limit orders, improved wallet connectivity, a refined user account dashboard, and optimized UI layouts.

“The launch of the Stonks100 tokenized U.S. stock marketplace marks an important milestone in our ongoing journey of innovation. As we continue to expand access to tokenized equities, our focus remains on offering secure, professional, and transparent trading infrastructure. We believe MyStonks users and our global community will grow alongside us as we push the boundaries of decentralized finance,” a MyStonks.org representative said.

About MyStonks.org
MyStonks.org is a decentralized crypto asset trading platform born out of a Community Takeover (CTO) effort by the Stonks community. It is an industry-leading platform to offer fully custody-backed, 1:1 tokenized U.S. equities on-chain. MyStonks aims to become the decentralized “NASDAQ” of the crypto world—supporting new token projects and reshaping the DeFi landscape for healthier market growth.

About the Stonks Community
The Stonks community draws inspiration from the GameStop ($GME) movement and the ethos of crypto resistance. The rallying cry: FIGHT! HODL!

KING ABDULLAH ECONOMIC CITY, Saudi Arabia, May 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Middle East (HMMME), a joint venture between PIF and Hyundai Motor Company, today hosted its groundbreaking ceremony in the recently announced King Salman Automotive Cluster within King Abdullah Economic City (KAEC). The ceremony is a significant milestone that marks another step in the development of the automotive industry in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

PIF owns a 70% stake in HMMME, with Hyundai holding the remaining 30%. The manufacturing plant, Hyundai’s first facility in the Middle East, will roll out its first vehicle by the fourth quarter of 2026 and targets an annual production of 50,000 vehicles. This will include both internal combustion engine (ICE) and electric vehicles (EV).

Yazeed A. Alhumied, Deputy Governor and Head of MENA Investments at PIF, said: “This groundbreaking is a significant milestone for PIF as it further strengthens the automotive industry in Saudi Arabia. PIF will continue to enable and accelerate the growth of Saudi Arabia’s automotive ecosystem through partnerships.

BREAKING BARRIERS: HOW TIM WHITE IS REDEFINING INTERNATIONAL RACE ENGINEERING FROM NEW ZEALAND

Published

on

By

CROMWELL, New Zealand, May 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — In a sport where split-second decisions define success, Tim White is proving that world-class race engineering knows no borders. Operating from a small New Zealand town, White has established himself as a leading figure in Ferrari’s GT programs, leveraging cutting-edge remote engineering techniques to optimize performance in global endurance racing.

Founder of Elite Race Engineering, White serves as a Performance and Simulation Engineer, where he develops advanced modeling techniques and refines real-time data processing to enhance on-track performance. His use of innovative sensors, aerodynamic tuning, and sophisticated simulation tools has strengthened the team’s technical capabilities, making him a key player in Ferrari’s GT3 programs. Working remotely with Orlando-based Ferrari racing team Triarsi Competizione, White integrates advanced modeling, sensor technology, and data-driven insights to refine the Ferrari 296 GT3. Despite being based in New Zealand, his ability to analyze massive amounts of real-time race data and communicate findings instantly has made him an invaluable asset to teams in IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship and GT World Challenge Asia.

“Motorsport has always been seen as a hands-on, in-person industry, but technology is changing that,” says White. “From New Zealand, I can help optimize race cars competing on the other side of the world in real-time. Distance isn’t a limitation— it’s just another problem to engineer a solution for.” White’s journey began with an automotive mechanics apprenticeship, where he built and maintained race cars for circuit, rally, and hill climb competitions. A pivotal piece of advice from a Kiwi Formula 1 veteran led him to pursue a mechanical engineering degree, despite having no academic record from school. After years of perseverance, he earned a First-Class Honours degree and secured direct entry into a PhD program before pivoting back to motorsport.

His expertise in vehicle dynamics, simulation, and tire modeling took him around the world—working in IMSA, WEC, BTCC, and V8 Supercars, as well as developing software for race strategy and data management. When the COVID-19 pandemic halted racing, White turned to education, writing and presenting online courses on data analysis and race engineering before launching his own consulting business.

With IMSA’s 2025 torque sensor regulations set to revolutionize its GTD-class racing, White’s expertise in powertrain performance and data analysis ensures that Ferrari remains ahead of the curve. His journey—from building homegrown race cars to shaping the future of GT engineering—proves that innovation isn’t about location, but vision.
