Strium, the newly launched layer-1 blockchain from Startale Group and SBI Holdings, will begin trading with synthetic versions of U.S. and Japanese stocks and commodities. These products function as derivative-style instruments rather than direct ownership of underlying shares.

The platform plans to later introduce tokenized representations of real equities and asset-backed tokens. Access to these offerings will require identity verification and compliance with local regulations, while a separate open layer will allow broader participation without those requirements.

Initial proof-of-concept testing focuses on settlement efficiency, resilience under heavy transaction volumes, and interoperability with legacy financial systems. A public testnet is planned as the next step toward full deployment.
