TradFi closes at 4pm. Settles in two days. Charges you for the privilege. ST0x fixes that — real-world assets, fully onchain, tradeable 24/7. Equities, ETFs, commodities. Every token is 1:1 backed at a regulated broker with insolvency protection. Not synthetic. Not an IOU. The core system is VATS (Verifiable Asset Token System), built on Base. DeFi solved trading, lending, and stablecoins — it hadn't solved access to the assets the rest of the world actually trades. Now it has.
