Nine tokenized equities, including Apple and MicroStrategy, are set to debut on the stablecoin-focused Plasma blockchain.

Swarm, a regulated decentralized finance platform with a total value locked (TVL) of around $7 million, will launch nine tokenized equities on Plasma when the blockchain’s mainnet launches on Thursday.

Once live, users will be able to trade tokenized shares of Apple (AAPL), Microsoft (MSFT), Strategy (MSTR), Tesla (TSLA), Nvidia (NVDA), BlackRock (BLK), Intel (INTC), Coupang (CPNG), and Coinbase (COIN) against stablecoins.

Swarm said the tokenized equities are issued under the EU Prospectus Regulation, giving holders legal rights to the underlying securities. By pairing tokenized stocks with stablecoins, users can trade assets on-chain and access them 24/7.

The launch reflects the broader growth of tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), which enable investors to access traditional assets, such as stocks or bonds, on blockchain networks. The RWA sector recently surpassed $30 billion in on-chain value, nearly doubling since January 2025.

“Stablecoins are the bridge between digital and traditional finance,” said Timo Lehes, co-founder of Swarm. “Pairing them with tokenized equities like Apple or MicroStrategy stock on Plasma means users can move easily between cash-like assets and regulated securities without leaving the chain.”

Plasma is a Layer 1 (L1) blockchain backed by Tether, Bitfinex, and Framework Ventures. It’s designed for stablecoin transfers and is compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM).

The network is set to launch with more than $2 billion in committed liquidity, according to the project. The project’s token generation event (TGE) for its XPL token is also highly anticipated, with pre-markets implying a $7.5 billion valuation at the time of writing.

Swarm ExpandsAbout a month ago, Swarm partnered with the Hedera Foundation to launch tokenized stocks on Hedera, an L1 blockchain with a TVL of roughly $114 million.

That rollout included a redemption pool that allowed users to cash out of tokenized stocks on-chain immediately, instead of waiting for the typical two-day settlement period, according to Hania Othman, Director of Financial Markets and Sustainability at Hedera.

These developments come as tokenized stocks gain momentum across both decentralized and centralized platforms. Centralized exchanges (CEXs) such as Kraken, Gemini, and Robinhood have all announced tokenized stock offerings for investors outside the U.S. this year.

Due to the fact that 10 billion tokens are already in circulation, the platform is prepared to scale its goal of making truth verification a community effort. Users have the ability to stake $TRUTH in order to support agent clusters for the purpose of data authentication. In the present online landscape, where sensational content often takes precedence over factual reporting, such a paradigm stands in sharp contrast to the existing state of affairs. An announcement was made today by Swarm Network that its native $TRUTH token is scheduled to launch on October 1st, 2025. This will bring about a new approach to the process of verifying and trusting information that is discovered online.

Swarm has been steadily gaining pace with millions of on-chain claim verifications and over 10,000 agent licenses sold throughout its testing phase. The Token Generation Event (TGE) represents a turning point for Swarm, which has been quietly accumulating momentum. Due to the fact that 10 billion tokens are already in circulation, the platform is prepared to scale its goal of making truth verification a community effort rather than keeping it in the hands of a few megacorporations in the technology industry.

This approach differs from other similar crypto ventures in that it divides responsibility among thousands of AI agents and human reviewers who can collaborate to independently verify claims, with each verification being recorded on-chain (creating a transparent trail anyone can check), rather than attempting to replace traditional fact-checkers with another centralized system.

Swarm Network’s Chief Executive Officer, Yannick Myson, has expressed his opinion on the matter:

“We believe truth should be infrastructure open, verifiable, and owned by the people. With $TRUTH going live, we’re not just launching a token, we’re launching a new foundation for information integrity online. Swarm is how we fight misinformation at scale, by aligning incentives, distributing power, and giving everyone the tools to verify for themselves.”

Users have the ability to stake $TRUTH in order to support agent clusters for the purpose of data authentication. The token itself is the source of power for everything that is included inside the Swarm ecosystem. This creates an economy in which getting the facts correct pays off in a tangible way, and in exchange, these agents have the opportunity to receive rewards.

In the present online landscape, where sensational content often takes precedence over factual reporting, such a paradigm stands in sharp contrast to the existing state of affairs.

As a result of all of this, early supporters will not be excluded from the benefits. Agent license holders and users who participated in the rollup testing phase will be able to claim airdrops via platforms such as KuCoin, and those who act promptly will get additional rewards. Additionally, token holders have the ability to engage in governance decisions, take part in verification campaigns such as Rollup Season 3, and offer liquidity when new features are introduced. This is in addition to the original distribution of tokens.

Binance has announced that $TRUTH will make its debut on its Binance Alpha platform on October 1 at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time (ET). Additionally, the trading of the TRUTH/USDT perpetual contract, which offers leverage of up to 50x, is slated to commence at 8:30 a.m. ET on the same day. This announcement adds impetus to the launch initiative.

Additionally, the team has lofty goals for what is to come in the future. To begin, they are getting ready to launch the ‘Agent BUIDL’ Platform, which will enable anybody to build AI verification modules without the need for any previous knowledge of coding.

A similar concept, known as a “Agent Marketplace,” is now under development. This marketplace will allow these clusters to offer their services to other platforms and protocols. In addition, the well-known Rollup.News service is planning to broaden its scope beyond the confines of its present coverage of technology news to include coverage of politics, finance, and elections.

Lastly, since network safety measures are incorporated into the platform from the beginning, players are required to stake tokens for specific actions. This is done to ensure that the output quality is maintained and to prevent spam from spreading across the ecosystem.

To put it simply, the system gives preference to long-term involvement and meticulous verification over hasty and casual judgments. In summary, in contrast to inflexible blockchain projects that have difficulty adapting to new circumstances, the architecture that Swarm uses is meant to grow and adapt to any future issues without the need for a full new implementation.

The whole tokenomics breakdown can be seen here for those individuals who are interested in the technical particulars and distribution mechanisms of the aforementioned TGE.

The decentralized tools that Swarm Network develops are designed to assist communities in verifying information on a large scale. With the use of artificial intelligence agents, blockchain technology, and the engagement of the community, Swarm transforms the battle against disinformation into a collaborative endeavor in which correctness is rewarded.
