Analysis: Robinhood has sparked a wave of stock on-chain, and the U.S. stock market may Welcome its "Napster moment."
According to Fortune, Robinhood has recently tokenized stocks like AMC, which has led to public criticism from AMC's CEO. However, this model can reduce the cost and threshold for global investors to trade U.S. stocks. Blockchain-driven stock tokenization is reshaping the U.S. brokerage industry, and its impact may be similar to that of Napster on the music industry 25 years ago.
Analysis points out that tokenized stocks still face issues such as voting rights, underlying stock custody, and whether token assets are fully backed. However, regulators have begun to promote the construction of relevant frameworks. Recently, Nasdaq also invested $100 million in blockchain financial company Payward, and the trend of stock on-chain is accelerating, making it difficult for threats or lawsuits to long-term hinder the development of this technology.
