ether.fi Adds Native xStocks Minting and Redemption on OP Mainnet

ether.fi has added native minting and redemption for xStocks in its app, letting eligible users hold tokenized equities in self-custody accounts without routing the operations through Ethereum mainnet.

The xStocks lineup has operated natively on OP Mainnet for several months, without bridges or wrapped versions. It includes tokenized versions of every Russell 1000 constituent, as well as NVDAx, TSLAx, QQQx and SPYx.

Users can combine the assets with lending markets, decentralized exchanges and other applications on OP Mainnet. OP Mainnet is a shared Ethereum layer 2 in the OP Stack ecosystem; assets moving between independently operated chains require bridges.

ether.fi launched xStocks trading in wrapped form in its app in summer 2026. The new feature adds native minting and redemption to that offering.
