The countdown for altcoins has already begun

Once the US stock market is fully tokenized, compliant stocks will be able to circulate on-chain and be listed on exchanges. Those altcoins that are propped up by empty promises and storytelling will basically have to pack up and leave.

COIN is doing this, making on-chain securities mainstream. Many stocks that just went public have a market value of only tens of millions or a couple of hundred million, which for retail investors is not much different from small-cap coins – but at least they are regulated, compliant, and have real businesses.

Altcoins vs. On-chain US stocks: one relies on faith, the other on financial statements; it’s obvious who has a better market.
