1. What’s happening:
US SEC is preparing a new policy to allow crypto companies to offer blockchain-based tokenized stocks. Real stocks like AAPL, TSLA, NVDA will trade on-chain.
2. Why it’s a game changer:
Tokenized stocks = 24/7 trading + instant settlement + lower fees. Right now US stocks only trade 9:30 AM - 4 PM EST. This rule = trade Tesla at 3 AM like Bitcoin.
3. Who’s ready:
Coinbase, Robinhood, Kraken already offer tokenized stocks overseas. Coinbase said they’ll launch in US once rules allow.
4. SEC’s plan:
Chairman Paul Atkins will unveil an "innovation exemption". Lets companies test new models without all SEC disclosure rules. Temporary now, but long-term it brings crypto firms vs Wall Street brokers like Schwab.
5. Market size:
Tokenized stocks market cap hit $6.4B. End of 2024 it was just a few million. 1000x growth in 1 year.
6. CZ’s take:
CZ posted: "Countries need to tokenize their stocks, allowing worldwide buyers. 24/7 trading, fractional ownership, instant settlement."
