xStocks (tracker certificates by Backed Assets (JE) Limited, ”x” tickers)

What the client owns
A bearer debt instrument, a tracker certificate, issued by Backed Assets (JE) Limited. Not the share. Third-party synthetic: A note or swap that pays like the security and carries no rights in it.
Who may hold it
Not offered to US persons. First purchase $5,000. Direct subscription with the issuer is for Qualified Professional Investors; others buy through authorised participants (Kraken via Payward entities in Bermuda and the EU). Retail may redeem directly after KYC at $5,000 or more. The public API lists a $1,000 minimum order per session, which conflicts with the docs. Secondary holders need no KYC to hold.

Ethereum STRCx: can freeze a holder, pause transfers, gate who may hold, mint, change the code. A single key can freeze a holder. A 2-of-3 multisig, through a contract, can change the code with no delay.
Solana STRCx: can freeze a holder, pause transfers, claw back, mint. An account only a program can sign for can freeze a holder and claw back tokens and pause transfers. An account only a program can sign for can change the code with no delay.
Tron STRCx: can freeze a holder, pause transfers, gate who may hold, mint, change the code (clawback unverified). A single key can claw back tokens and pause transfers. Owner key: a single key. A single key, through a contract, can change the code with no delay.

How it exits
Redeem with the issuer in its window. Market flow: tokens sent from a whitelisted wallet to a sweep address; broker sells the shares; stablecoins return in 30 seconds to 2 minutes, 24/5. Prospectus allows up to T+5.. Settles in USDC, USDG, USDT.

This file replaced an earlier record on 2026-09-23. Superseded the same day: the reader counted Backed’s burn(address, uint256) as a clawback, but the verified source lets the burner burn only its own or the contract’s tokens, so the four EVM rows now say No. Tron and TON rows were added: on Tron a single key owns the contract and its upgrades; on TON a 2-of-3 multisig is the jetton admin. Superseded records.

Who may buy, hold, transfer, and redeem

Each answer rests on the issuer’s own words, quoted from the document named under it. Ketju re-reads each document and records whether the words are still there. Where the documents say nothing, the row says so.

What the holder owns

xStocks docs: Product Legal Overview · Blockchain Registration · words found 2026-09-23

What the issuer says it can freeze or take back

The contract may block sanctioned addresses; the prospectus says burning covers only tokens the issuer holds and freezing awaits a future update.

“The smart contract may block interactions with addresses which have been flagged as sanctioned in accordance with Sanctions Regulations (such as OFAC sanctions)”

What the issuer publishes

Read from the issuer’s own feed at api.xstocks.fi, as of 2026-09-24. The monitor reads it daily and alerts when shares held fall short of tokens out.

Who can change the record

Powers read from the deployed contracts and their verified source: the token and every contract it consults on transfer. A power recorded here is the issuer’s ability, not evidence it has been used.

Who holds the keys

Every current holder of each power, read from the chain on 2026-09-23. A single key is one private key: whoever holds it acts alone. A multisig needs the stated number of signers. A timelock makes every action wait, so holders can see it coming.

What the monitor reads daily

Every control function in the table above and the contracts the token consults on transfer; the token’s on-chain supply against yesterday’s and against the issuer’s published record; and its market quote against yesterday’s quote. Every document quoted above is re-read too, and a quote that leaves its document reopens the file. A change opens a review item in the governance queue and reopens the file before any client action.
