Another day of learning📚
After discussing the big logic of stock coins for a few days, here are some study notes on the mechanisms of various stock coins👇
Currently, there are 3 mainstream methods
🟢 Mystonks: Buy real stocks yourself, self-custody, self-chain @MyStonksCN
▶️ Issue ERC-20 stock tokens, 1:1 backed by Fidelity custody of real stocks
▶️ Use PFOF (Payment for Order Flow) mechanism, market makers assist in buying and selling stocks, transactions affect real market prices
▶️ Trading time is quite restricted, can only trade in real-time during US stock trading hours, other times can only place orders
🟡 Robinhood: Buy real stocks yourself, self-locking, self-contract minting @RobinhoodApp
▶️ Token minting on Arbitrum, currently can only buy and sell within the Robinhood Europe App, cannot withdraw to the chain
▶️ Future plans to release more stock tokens using its own L2 network
▶️ Can only play within Robinhood's own stock pool, discrepancies with the real market
🔵 xStocks: Issuing stocks through a stablecoin model @xStocksFi
▶️ Minted on the Solana chain, controlled by the Swiss parent company Backed, stocks custodied at Deutsche Börse Clearstream, stocks bought through Interactive Brokers
▶️ Strong endorsements, investments from Coinbase, support from Kraken/Bybit/Jup
▶️ High degree of centralization, issuer has minting and redemption authority
