What problem does tokenized stocks solve? 》—— How Cryptocurrency Traders Understand Stock Products Series | Chapter 07 A few days ago, a friend asked me a question: Since there are already real stocks, why are there still tokenized stocks? This question was actually my biggest doubt when I first started dealing with stock products. After further research, I found that they do not address the same requirement at all. First, let's imagine a scenario: Suppose you are a long-term user of cryptocurrency trading, Your funds are mostly in USDT, and you use cryptocurrency trading platforms every day, focusing on BTC, ETH, and SOL. Suddenly one day, you want to participate in the market of NVIDIA, Apple, or Tesla. If you follow the traditional approach, you may need to open a securities account, complete identity verification, make bank deposits, exchange currency, and finally purchase stocks. For many cryptocurrency users, this process is not unfamiliar, but it can be a bit cumbersome. The emergence of stock tokenization aims to make this process more closely aligned with the usage habits of cryptocurrency users. For example, you can directly use USDT to participate, and the trading method is closer to digital assets; Some products support 24/7 trading and are not completely limited by traditional US stock trading hours. For traders who have always lived in the world of cryptocurrency, this experience will be more natural. However, there is a very confusing place here. When many people first encounter stock tokenization, they may mistakenly think: Buying tokenized stocks is equivalent to buying real stocks. ” Actually, it's not like that. Stock tokenization products and RealStocks belong to two different types of products. RealStocks correspond to real stock holdings. And tokenized stocks provide users with relevant exposure to stock prices in the form of tokens. There are significant differences between the two in terms of product structure, equity, and transaction mechanism. So, before using it, it is important to first understand the product itself, rather than thinking that the two words "stock" in the name are exactly the same. When researching @ MEXC's stock product system recently, I found that it offers both types of products simultaneously. The reason for doing so is also easy to understand. Some people hope to hold real stocks for the long term, while others prefer to continue using cryptocurrency trading methods to participate in the stock market. Different trading habits naturally correspond to different products. Mr. Xiaolong's Observation Over the years, the cryptocurrency market has been striving to lower the entry barriers between different assets. Previously, we discussed how to move US dollars into cryptocurrency. Now, more platforms are starting to think about: How to make it more convenient for cryptocurrency users to access the stock market. The tokenization of stocks is essentially a part of this trend. It solves the problem of providing different types of investors with a new option. Next preview: Pre IPO: How to understand investment opportunities for unlisted companies?
