As reported by Foresight News on November 12, 2026, citing the Optimism blog, xStocks, ether.fi and the Optimism Foundation jointly announced that all xStocks tokenized stocks had been running natively on OP Mainnet for several months. They said the tokens did not require a cross-chain bridge or wrapping. The available assets covered every Russell 1000 constituent, as well as instruments including NVDAx, TSLAx, QQQx and SPYx. They could also be used with applications on OP Mainnet, such as lending markets and decentralized exchanges.
ether.fi also added native xStocks minting and redemption to its app. Eligible users could hold the tokenized stocks in self-custodial accounts, without routing those operations through Ethereum mainnet. That differs from the wrapped-form xStocks trading ether.fi had introduced in its app during summer 2026.
Here, native describes how the tokens operate on OP Mainnet; it does not, by itself, explain what rights a holder has in an underlying stock. The report did not specify those rights.
