D-Stock CEO Craig McGregor discusses how the company uses Stellar blockchain to tokenize real-world securities like stocks, ETFs, and bonds, enabling fractional investing and 24/7 trading with settlement in seconds instead of days.
Craig McGregor, CEO of D-Stock, explains how the company leverages Stellar blockchain to tokenize traditional securities and make global investing accessible via mobile. D-Stock buys real securities through European banking infrastructure, tokenizes them as security tokens on Stellar, and enables trading through Stellar's decentralized exchange with T+5 second settlement versus traditional 2-5 day cycles. The company offers both a consumer app for emerging markets and B2B API integrations for banks, neobanks, and payment platforms. McGregor discusses regulatory learnings from Liechtenstein's blockchain-friendly framework and emphasizes that tokenization's real value emerges when combined with tradability, particularly for cross-border transactions where blockchain provides the greatest efficiency gains.
