When we talk about companies that have reshaped the way humans live, work, and think, Google inevitably tops the list. What started as a research project between two graduate students has become one of the most powerful and profitable companies in the world. Behind this revolution were two visionaries: Larry Page and Sergey Brin. Their story is not just one of academic brilliance, but of relentless curiosity, bold experimentation, and a willingness to push boundaries. Today, their creation underpins much of the internet, powers billions of devices, and influences entire industries.

And here’s the exciting part: you don’t have to be a Silicon Valley insider to participate in Google’s story. Thanks to Hotcoin’s tokenized stock product, xStocks, you can now trade Google xStocks (GOOGLX) directly on the Hotcoin platform — 24/7, without borders, and with the flexibility of crypto.

But before we dive into that, let’s rewind to the beginning.

The Early Days: A Chance Encounter at Stanford

In 1995, Sergey Brin, a Russian-born PhD student at Stanford, was assigned to show a new student, Larry Page, around campus. The two didn’t exactly click at first — they debated constantly. But those debates turned into discussions, and those discussions sparked the idea for a revolutionary way to organize information on the internet.

At the time, search engines existed, but they were clunky and inefficient. Page and Brin envisioned a system that ranked web pages not just by keywords, but by their importance, measured by how many other pages linked to them. They called this system PageRank, and it became the foundation of Google.

The Garage Years: Building Google

In 1998, Page and Brin set up shop in Susan Wojcicki’s garage (she later became CEO of YouTube). With a server cobbled together from cheap parts, they built the first version of Google. The name itself was a play on “googol,” the mathematical term for the number 1 followed by 100 zeros — a reflection of their ambition to organize seemingly infinite information. By 2000, Google had become the world’s most popular search engine, known for its minimalist design and lightning-fast results.

From Startup to Titan

Under Page and Brin’s leadership, Google didn’t stop at search. They rapidly expanded into new territories:

  • Advertising (AdWords, now Google Ads): Revolutionizing online advertising and creating a revenue machine.
  • Gmail: Offering 1GB of free storage at launch — unheard of at the time.
  • Android: Acquiring and scaling the world’s most popular mobile OS.
  • YouTube: Buying the video platform for $1.65 billion in 2006, a deal many considered risky — until it became a cultural juggernaut.
  • Cloud, Maps, Chrome, AI: Diversifying into nearly every corner of the digital economy.

By 2004, Google went public at $85 per share. Today, Alphabet (Google’s parent company) is valued at over $2 trillion, making it one of the most influential companies in human history.

The Vision of Page and Brin

What made Google different wasn’t just technology. It was the mindset of its founders:

  • Think Big: From self-driving cars (Waymo) to renewable energy, they always looked beyond immediate profits.
  • Organize the World’s Information: Their mission statement remains as bold today as it was in the 90s.
  • Innovation at Scale: They fostered a culture where moonshot ideas (Google X) weren’t just encouraged, they were expected.

Page and Brin eventually stepped back from day-to-day management in 2019, but their fingerprints are everywhere in Google’s DNA.

Why Google Matters for Traders

Google isn’t just another tech company. It’s a pillar of the modern economy. Its search engine dominates global traffic, its ad business funds millions of businesses, and its innovations in AI, cloud, and quantum computing ensure it will remain relevant for decades to come. For traders, that means Google is not just a stock — it’s a long-term bet on the future of technology itself.

Bringing Google to Crypto Traders: xStocks on Hotcoin

Here’s where things get really exciting. Traditionally, if you wanted to invest in Google stock, you needed:

  • A brokerage account tied to U.S. markets.
  • To trade only during stock market hours.
  • To navigate paperwork, restrictions, and regional barriers.

Hotcoin has shattered those barriers with xStocks.

xStocks are tokenized equities, meaning they track the real-time price of global stocks, but are tradeable as easily as crypto. With GOOGLX (Google xStocks) on Hotcoin, you can:

  • Trade 24/7: No waiting for markets to open.
  • Access Without Borders: No U.S. brokerage needed — anyone with a Hotcoin account can participate.
  • Spot & Futures Options: Trade GOOGLX/USDT on both spot and futures markets, with leverage up to 20x.
  • Low Barriers to Entry: Buy fractions, not whole shares — perfect for smaller traders.

This is Wall Street innovation, repackaged for the Web3 era.

Google’s Legacy, Your Opportunity

Larry Page and Sergey Brin built Google to organize the world’s information. In doing so, they created one of the most valuable companies on Earth. Their story is proof of what happens when vision meets execution.

Now, with Hotcoin xStocks, you don’t just get to admire their legacy — you can trade it. GOOGLX lets you ride the wave of Google’s continued growth, while enjoying the speed, flexibility, and borderless nature of crypto trading.

This is more than just investing in a stock. It’s participating in the ongoing story of innovation that began in a Stanford dorm room.
