WSJ: SEC opens path for tokenized stocks — five things to know

  • —SEC requires tokens to carry the same rights as shares, including dividends and voting
  • —Issuers must notify the company 30 days in advance; platforms cannot list if the firm objects
  • —Robinhood, Coinbase, Kraken and Gemini already offer tokenized US stocks and ETFs abroad
  • —Nasdaq, NYSE, BlackRock and JPMorgan are pushing tokenized equities and money-market funds
Why it matters: Tokenized equities could reshape trading and settlement on Wall Street, but investors must distinguish real ownership rights from price-tracking derivatives.
