In our latest Index Bytes video, @ErdosiThomas and @xtimoz break down the @xStocksFi Product Suite: how xStocks bridge TradFi and crypto, why they need their own regulated reference price, and how we standardize corporate action handling across the ecosystem Watch now:

@xStocksFi CF Benchmarks has developed a ready-made application guide for perpetuals, lending, options, and treasury. Regulated price indices and a standardized corporate actions data feed, purpose-built for xStocks markets.

Inconsistent corporate action handling leaves the same xStock trading at different prices across venues, creating operational risk for every system built on top. The xStocks Product Suite fixes this, removing the need for venues to build their own corporate action infrastructure from scratch.

Matt Kunke, @BlackRock Digital Asset Strategist says the evolution of institutional demand for funds like iShares' Staked Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHB) reflects how sharply Ether differs from TradFi assets. @gxselby @TheSquareMile @MarkPilipczuk
