How it works

How does TokenBank work?

TokenBank collects every tokenized asset it can source — 8,776 live instruments today — links each token to the stock, bond, fund or currency it tracks, and records how it can be bought. 76 of them state a yield, a minimum and a risk, so they can be compared on those figures. The same data serves people, developers and AI agents.

Diagram: how TokenBank works — issuer catalogues, official registers, on-chain data and markets flow into TokenBank, which links each token to its underlying, records yield, risk, custody and three KYC gates and derives a purchase path; people use the website, developers the REST API, AI agents the MCP server.

Where the data comes from

Every row links to its source. A figure without a source is not shown.

One underlying, many tokens

Apple exists on-chain as many separate tokens from different issuers. They follow the same share price but are different products: one is a tokenized share, another a certificate, another a debt security; they live on different chains, with different custody, holder rights and identity checks. TokenBank keeps the underlying apart from each token on it, so they can be compared side by side instead of appearing as unrelated rows.

Diagram: one stock, many tokens — Apple (AAPL) as the underlying with tokens from xStocks (AAPLx, Solana), Ondo (AAPLon, Ethereum), Coinbase (AAPL.CB, Base) and Robinhood (AAPL.RH, Robinhood Chain), each a different legal product, plus a Hyperliquid perpetual with price exposure only.
Same price driver, different product: wrapper, rights, chain, custody, KYC gates and fees differ per issuer.

Two kinds of rows

Rows with stated figures
yield, minimum and risk are stated by the issuer and sourced. Only these appear in yield rankings and comparisons.
Catalogue rows
identity, issuer, type, chain and target market from the issuer’s catalogue, without figures. They answer “is X tokenized, and by whom?” — never “what does it pay?”.

Three KYC gates and a purchase path

Each token has three points where an identity check can stop a buyer: when it is minted by the issuer, when it is traded on a secondary market, and when it is redeemed. From these gates and the custody TokenBank derives the purchase path — whether a plain wallet can buy it, whether an owner has to be onboarded once, or whether it is bought inside a platform. Today 27 instruments can be bought from a self-custody wallet with no identity check.

Diagram: three ways an AI agent can buy a token — wallet only (no identity check, e.g. yield stablecoins, staking, DeFi lending), owner onboarded once with the issuer (tokenized treasury and money-market funds), or inside a platform account — decided by the three KYC gates mint, secondary market and redeem.
Which path applies is read from each token’s three KYC gates — it says how a purchase works, not who may buy.

A path describes how a purchase works, not who may buy. The issuer’s terms and the buyer’s own law decide that.

What TokenBank does not do

Where does TokenBank get its data?

From issuers’ own token catalogues, the public registers of supervisors in 250 jurisdictions, on-chain contract data and the markets where tokens trade. Every row links to its source.

How many tokenized assets does TokenBank cover?

8,776 live instruments, of which 76 state a yield, a minimum and a risk and can be compared on those figures.

Can an AI agent use TokenBank?

Yes. The MCP server at https://mcp.tokenbank.world and the REST API are free and need no key. The tool get_purchase_steps returns how a token is bought; 27 instruments can be bought from a wallet with no identity check.

Does TokenBank sell tokens?

No. TokenBank publishes data only. It does not sell, broker, hold or execute anything and takes no fee or referral.
