Recently, everyone in the circle of friends has been discussing how the US stock market has reached a new high.
NVIDIA has surpassed a market value of $4 trillion.
Bitcoin has also reached a historic high.
But do you know?
Wall Street is quietly laying out a bigger plan: stock tokenization.
What is stock tokenization?
Let me give you an example, and you'll understand.
Imagine you have a 100 yuan banknote in your hand.
Now there is a technology that can "copy" this banknote
into a digital version,
stored in your phone.
This digital version has the exact same value as the real 100 yuan banknote,
but:
📌 It can be used 24 hours a day
📌 Transfers are instant
📌 Transaction fees are extremely low
📌 It can be divided into smaller transactions
That's the principle of stock tokenization.
— turning real stocks like Apple, Tesla, and NVIDIA
into "digital stocks" on the blockchain.
Traditional stock trading VS Tokenized stocks:
It's like cash VS Alipay.
Traditional stock trading is like buying things with cash:
🤦♂️ You can only operate during bank hours
🤦♂️ Cross-border transfers take several days
🤦♂️ There are a lot of fees
🤦♂️ High barriers to entry, with investments starting from tens of thousands
Tokenized stocks are like using Alipay:
💥 Trade 24 hours a day, even on weekends
💥 Transactions completed in seconds
💥 Fees so low that they can be ignored
💥 You can buy fractions of a share
Who is driving this revolution?
🚩1. Robinhood: A new play for retail investors
Do you remember Robinhood, the protagonist of the "retail investors vs. Wall Street" battle?
Now it has launched a US stock tokenization service in Europe:
You can buy token versions of Apple and Tesla with euros
24-hour trading, 0 fees
It even wants retail investors to buy shares in unlisted companies like OpenAI and SpaceX.
The result? Robinhood's stock price surged threefold in three months!
🚩2. BlackRock: A turn for traditional financial giants
The world's largest asset management company, BlackRock, has also joined:
It launched the BUIDL tokenized currency fund
Each token is pegged to $1
Annual returns of 3-5%, directly airdropped to your wallet.
🚩3. JPMorgan: Digital attempts in banking
Even the most traditional big banks are getting involved:
Issuing JPMD deposit tokens
Like a digital version of bank deposits
Can be transferred and paid on the blockchain.
Behind this is a "financial war".
In simple terms, this is America's "hidden agenda":
Imagine the world's hot money is like water,
originally scattered in various pools.
Now, through stock tokenization, the US
is transforming itself into a super large pool,
using blockchain as a "pipeline" to channel all the world's water.
🎁 Step one: Stablecoins (already passed)
Let the world use dollar stablecoins
Just like turning the dollar into a "global digital currency".
🎁 Step two: Tokenizing everything (currently happening)
Turning US stocks and bonds into tokens
So that investors worldwide can buy American assets.
Argentinian billionaires no longer need to worry about the devaluation of their local currency,
they can directly buy US stock tokens.
Funds from sanctioned regions are finding new investment channels.
Global capital is accelerating its flow to the US.
How to operate specifically?
It's like "digital collectible cards".
✔ Buying process:
You place an order on Robinhood to buy 1 share of an Apple token.
The system actually buys 1 share of Apple stock in the traditional market.
At the same time, it "mints" you 1 Apple token on the blockchain.
The value of the token is completely synchronized with the real stock.
✔ Selling process:
You sell the Apple token.
The system sells the real stock in the traditional market.
Your token is "burned".
The profits are returned to you.
Just like the binding system for equipment in games, it's stable and reliable!
The regulatory environment is changing drastically: green lights everywhere.
The Trump administration's attitude towards cryptocurrencies has turned 180 degrees:
The new SEC chairman says:
"We want to make America the global crypto center."
"We are still using securities laws from 100 years ago to manage the digital age, it's too outdated."
Promised to greatly simplify the process of issuing security tokens.
There will be explosive growth within two years.
What does this mean for ordinary investors?
⁉ Opportunities:
Investment thresholds will be greatly lowered.
Trading times will be completely flexible.
You can invest in assets that were previously out of reach.
Transaction fees will be lower.
⁉ Risks:
The technology is still in development and may have bugs.
Regulatory policies are still changing.
Market fluctuations may be greater.
What about other countries?
Now the whole world is "claiming territory":
Hong Kong is vigorously developing RWA (Real World Asset Tokenization).
The EU is formulating the MiFID II regulatory framework.
Countries are competing for this piece of cake.
If you don't issue your own asset tokens,
global hot money will be siphoned off by US assets.
We are witnessing history.
Stock tokenization is not just a technological innovation, but:
A major upgrade of financial infrastructure.
A rewriting of global capital flow rules.
A "land grab" in the digital economy era.
Boston Consulting Group predicts:
By 2033, the market size of tokenized assets will reach $18.9 trillion.
This is like the transition from cash payments to mobile payments in the past,
a transformation that is irreversible.
Early participants may reap huge rewards,
but they also have to bear corresponding risks.
Are you ready to embrace this era of "tokenizing everything"?
