Tokenised Stocks Should Not Be Sold as Real Ownership Unless Investors Get the Rights Too
Tokenised stocks promise easier access to financial markets, potentially including round-the-clock trading and faster settlement. But a token that tracks a company’s share price is not necessarily the same as owning the actual share. Investors need to know whether they receive voting rights, dividends and legal protections, or simply exposure to price movements. If the ownership rights are unclear, tokenisation risks becoming another complicated product marketed as a financial revolution. Would you buy a tokenised stock if it offered price exposure but not the rights of a shareholder?
