Tokenized U.S. stocks are digital representations of real U.S. company shares (like Apple, Tesla, or Amazon) issued on a blockchain.
Here’s how they work in a simple and human way:
Backed by real shares – Each token typically represents 1 share (or a fraction) of the actual stock, held by a licensed custodian.
Traded 24/7 – Unlike the U.S. stock market, tokenized stocks can be bought/sold anytime, even on weekends.
Accessible worldwide – People in countries without direct U.S. stock access can trade them via crypto exchanges.
Fractional ownership – You can buy even $5 worth of Tesla instead of a whole share.
Dividends – If the real stock pays dividends, some platforms pass them to token holders.
Risks:
Regulation is unclear in many countries.
Your rights may be different from directly owning the stock.
Relies on the platform’s honesty and solvency.
