Goldman Sachs and Citizens: Coinbase, Robinhood and Circle to benefit from SEC stock tokenization

  • SEC granted a five-year exemption for trading tokenized stocks via AMMs on public blockchains
  • Goldman: Coinbase already has the needed features — shareholder rights and dividends
  • Robinhood needs work: its foreign tokenized stocks do not grant full ownership rights
  • Circle will benefit from growing use of USDC for settlement and collateral
Why it matters: Tokenized US stocks could open a new market for crypto infrastructure and stablecoins, but are currently limited by volume caps and issuers' right to opt out.
