On August 4, 2025, the MyStonks platform officially launched the "Merkle Tree" feature. With this advanced technology, the platform took a significant step forward in on-chain asset transparency and data verifiability. Users are able to actively verify their individual asset proofs and the platform-wide asset snapshot in real time, ensuring that all asset flows and changes can be fully traced on the blockchain.

This feature eliminates the reliance on third-party trust mechanisms, presenting users with genuine and tamper-proof asset proofs, greatly enhancing the platform's transparency and user trust. By making all asset proof information publicly accessible and verifiable, MyStonks has established industry-leading standards for asset transparency and security.

The "Merkle Tree" feature enables institutions, communities, and regulatory partners to conduct independent audits, effectively meeting international compliance and auditing requirements, further driving the platform ecosystem's compliance upgrade. This technological launch signifies that MyStonks has taken a solid strategic step forward in innovative financial technology and compliance governance.

Merkle Tree Technology Principle

The Merkle Tree is a layered structure that protects data integrity through a cryptographic hash algorithm, widely used in blockchain and distributed systems. It can be likened to a complex multi-level parcel inspection system in an e-commerce warehouse. Imagine a warehouse manager facing tens of thousands of small parcels, needing to ensure the security and accurate delivery of each item, but individually unpacking and inspecting them is impractical. Therefore, they affix a digital barcode to each small parcel, containing an encrypted digest of all the parcel's information.

Subsequently, several small parcels are placed in a larger transit box, and the box's barcode is calculated from the barcodes of all internal small parcels. Then, larger containers aggregate multiple transit boxes, also generating barcodes using the same calculation mechanism. This multi-level packaging progresses layer by layer, eventually forming a unique "overall authentication code" for the entire shipping chain. When a customer has a question, instead of unpacking all parcels, they can quickly confirm the authenticity and integrity of the goods and pinpoint any issues by inspecting the barcode chain related to the target parcel. This multi-level barcode combination verification is the essence of the Merkle Tree.

MyStonks employs a similar technological logic, encrypting each asset and data block with a hash, aggregating them in layers to generate the platform's "total asset authentication code," ensuring data integrity and efficient verification. Users and regulators only need to reference the relevant hash path and root hash to quickly and independently confirm the reliability of asset information. This not only significantly enhances the security and transparency of on-chain asset data but also reduces the time and resource costs of data validation.

MyStonks Upholds Compliance Development and Establishes a Global Multi-License System

As a leading digital asset platform, MyStonks has always attached great importance to compliance and user asset security since its establishment. In July 2025, the company successfully obtained an MSB license issued by the U.S. Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, laying a solid foundation for its compliant operations in the U.S. and related regions. At the same time, MyStonks has actively expanded into the European market, participated in the EU Cryptocurrency Market Regulation Project, advanced compliance pilot projects for distributed ledger technology, aiming to ensure the close integration of technological innovation and regulatory compliance.

Furthermore, MyStonks has established a global compliance expansion roadmap, applying for and preparing for virtual asset service licenses in key regions such as Hong Kong, Singapore, and Dubai, building a multi-layered licensing network covering the Americas, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East. This layout effectively supports the global expansion of the company's diversified businesses and strengthens its risk management and compliance operational capabilities. The launch of the Merkle Tree function is a key component of its technology compliance governance strategy, significantly enhancing the on-chain transparency and auditability of platform assets, forming a virtuous cycle of compliance and technological innovation.

Leading the New Era of Digital Finance and Building a Trusted Asset Ecosystem

With the vigorous development of the global digital economy and blockchain technology, asset transparency and data trustworthiness have become the foundation for the healthy and stable development of the industry. Through the launch of the Merkle Tree function, MyStonks has strengthened the platform's core competitiveness in asset security, data openness, and compliance audits. This technology empowers users to efficiently verify asset authenticity without requiring a third party, significantly enhancing the platform's credibility and user stickiness. In the future, MyStonks will continue to uphold the development philosophy of innovation-driven and compliance-first, deepen its exploration of blockchain technology and digital asset ecosystem construction, continuously improve its compliance system, and drive the digital finance industry towards a more secure, transparent, and inclusive direction.
