Tokenized Stocks Surge in US, But Access Remains Constrained

Weiss Ratings notes that demand for tokenized stocks is surging in the U.S., making them the fourth-largest blockchain-based real-world asset category this summer.

The rush around SpaceX-linked tokenized shares highlights a broader push to bring traditional U.S. equity exposure onto blockchain networks.

Despite technological advances, access to tokenized IPO allocations still faces constraints, with some pre-sold tokenized SpaceX shares not delivered to buyers due to limited supply.

Weiss Ratings notes that only about 10% of IPOs in the past 15 years have rewarded first-day buyers, cautioning about the risks for retail investors in both traditional and tokenized formats.
