Can I buy SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) as a token — and from which issuers?
Yes — SPDR S&P 500 ETF exists as a token from 10 issuers in our data: SPYx (Backed), ASPY (Anchored Finance), SPY.RP (BG El Salvador, S.A. de C.V.), SPY (Dinari), tSPY.SV (MIO 3 MARKETS 1 S.A.S. de C.V.), m.SPY (Monetae Securities, S.A. de C.V.), SPYon (Ondo Global Markets), SPYR (Remora Markets) and 2 more, on 11 chains (Solana, Ethereum, TON, Arbitrum, Monad, Morph …). 1 is for accredited or professional investors only. Lowest stated minimum: $1. None registers a SPDR S&P 500 ETF unit in your own name — you hold a claim on the issuer, so the issuer’s structure and terms matter as much as the stock.
SPDR S&P 500 ETF units exist as tokens from many issuers. They are not the same product: some are tracker certificates backed by a share held in custody, some are claims on a special-purpose vehicle, some are derivatives inside a broker’s app, and one or two are issued by a transfer agent on behalf of the company. They also differ in chain, in who the issuer says it offers them to, and in whether you need KYC to buy. The table lists every version we have; each row links to its own page with the issuer’s source.

More questions
Is a SPY token the same as owning SPDR S&P 500 ETF units?
No. A token tracks the price, but the legal claim is on the token’s issuer — a tracker certificate, an SPV share, or a derivative — not a unit in your name with a broker. Voting rights are usually not passed on; dividends are paid out, reinvested or not passed on depending on the issuer.
Where can I trade SPY tokens?
Depends on the issuer: some trade on decentralised exchanges on their chain, some only inside the issuer’s or a partner exchange’s app. Each token’s page in the table names where it trades.
Which of them can I buy without KYC?
None of them is stated as buyable without KYC. 1 explicitly require it.
