Bybit is partnering with Backed Finance to bring xStocks, tokenized versions of stocks, to the Mantle blockchain. This collaboration, reported by The Block, allows users to access and trade traditional stock assets within the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem. Mantle, known for its scalability and lower transaction fees, provides an ideal environment for trading tokenized stocks. Bybit users can now diversify their portfolios by trading fractional shares of popular companies. xStocks offer several benefits, including 24/7 availability and increased accessibility for investors globally. The move signifies a growing trend of bridging traditional finance with the innovative world of blockchain technology. Bybit's integration of xStocks on Mantle provides another compelling use case for DeFi. ```
