ArkBerry OTC

Equities

Tokenized equities are ERC-20 tokens that track the price of a listed share. ArkBerry OTC settles them peer to peer, in one transaction, with no pool and no order routing.

ArkBerry is the desk, not the issuer

ArkBerry does not issue these tokens, hold the underlying shares, or check who you are. Someone else issued the token and owes you whatever it is worth. ArkBerry moves it from one wallet to another and takes no custody on the way. Everything on this page exists because that distinction costs people money when they miss it.

Check an address

Paste any contract address and ArkBerry reads Arc and tells you what is actually deployed there. Nothing is signed, and no wallet is needed. The create screen runs the same check.

ArkBerry ships no address list for tokenized equities, because none has been verified. Get the address from the issuer's own published list, then check it here.

Issuers

What the desk knows about who issues these tokens. Every line below comes from the issuer's own site or from Circle's Arc launch announcement, never from a price or a ranking.

xStocks by Payward

Arc ecosystem

Tokenized US stocks and ETFs, each backed 1:1 by the underlying asset held in regulated custody. Describes its tokens as permissionless and freely transferable.

Named in Circle's Arc launch announcement among the issuers working to bring tokenized products onchain. States that xStocks are not available to US persons.

Dinari

Arc ecosystem

dShares, tokenized US stocks and ETFs. Dinari buys the underlying shares and holds them in a custodial brokerage account.

Named in Circle's Arc launch announcement among the issuers working to bring tokenized products onchain. States that dShares are available in 85+ jurisdictions outside the U.S.

Four checks the desk cannot do for you

ArkBerry can read a contract. It cannot read an issuer's terms, and it cannot make a settlement clear that the token itself refuses. Nothing below is enforced, and that is exactly why it is written down.

  1. 01

    Verify the contract yourself

    ArkBerry ships no address list for tokenized equities, because none has been verified. Check the address against the issuer's own published list and on the block explorer before you sign anything.

  2. 02

    Confirm the token is freely transferable

    If the token gates transfers behind an allowlist, settlement reverts unless both wallets and the escrow are on the register. The trade cannot clear, and you find out after paying gas.

  3. 03

    Issuer restrictions bind you, not the escrow

    Issuers restrict who they will sell to and redeem for. xStocks, for one, states its tokens are not available to US persons. The escrow enforces none of this, and cannot.

  4. 04

    You are trading the token, not the share

    Whatever its legal form, a tokenized share reaches the real share only through its issuer. Redemption is between you and the issuer. ArkBerry is not a party to it.

Why a desk, and not a swap

A pool-based swap gives you whatever price the curve holds at the moment your transaction lands. You take that price or you do not trade. A desk works the other way round: you and the other side agree a price first, and the escrow swaps both legs in one transaction. Either both clear, or nothing moves.

That is the whole argument for putting this asset class here. A negotiated price and an atomic swap are worth more on an asset you hold a real position in than a curve quote ever is.
