Stock Tokenization Aims to Democratize Global Access to Stocks

Stock tokenization has the potential to revolutionize how we access and trade stocks, much like Amazon changed the way we buy books.

In 1994, Jeff Bezos did not change what a book was; he changed the experience around it by offering a vast online catalog with 24/7 availability, search, and discovery.

Similarly, stock tokenization doesn't aim to alter the underlying stocks but could create broader global access, 24/7 trading, and transfers, as well as interoperability across various markets.

The technology can build upon existing infrastructure without reinventing the asset itself.

Public equities are one of the world's largest asset classes, yet only $2.8 billion, excluding ETFs, is represented onchain today.
