RedStone: tokenized stocks lose price reference outside trading hours

  • NYSE and Nasdaq trade 32.5 hours a week out of 168 — AMMs are left without a price reference
  • The SEC requires tokens to carry the same rights as ordinary shares and trading to halt if the underlying stock is halted
  • Synthetic products (Robinhood Stock Tokens, Kraken xStocks) do not fall under the SEC exemption
  • The exemption lasts 5 years and requires issuer notification with a right to object
Why it matters: The pricing gap for tokenized stocks could deter institutions and widen the price divergence between on-chain and traditional markets.
