Chain Daily has learned that the recent phenomenon of 'tokenization of stocks' (trading the stocks of publicly listed companies in token form on the blockchain) is accelerating in the crypto market, but there are significant risks to investors' rights and regulatory risks behind it.
For example, there are currently various tokens on the market linked to specific traditional stocks (such as Tesla, NVIDIA), but they do not necessarily grant token holders true equity, voting rights, or dividend rights. Some tokens are merely the appearance of contracts, mappings, or derivative contracts, which can easily lead to trust risks and counterparty risks (issuer risk).
Regulatory authorities have also begun to take notice, concerned that if such tokens$BNB spread widely without a clear legal framework, it may pose challenges to investor protection and market stability. If this model is to continue to grow, regulation must clearly delineate which types of tokens qualify as securities and which types are simple tokens.
If you see a certain stock token listed next week, would you choose to buy in first to test the waters, or wait until the 'regulatory white paper is released' to assess? Leave a comment and we can do a case analysis afterwards!
