How does the token give you legal right to the underlying equity? How do I exercise that legal right when there is some hack?
To me it is just price exposure.
You've never had legal right to the underlying equity. Even on the traditional stock market, the shares are vested in the name of the Depository Trust Company.
All you own is a fancy IOU

Now here is the decision of the court [23] : UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK In re: Chapter 11 Case No. 08-13555 The Court agrees with JPMC that the safe harbors apply here,...

These are questions that weren’t 100% clear in the presentation. To mee it seems like they are trying to create De-Fi liquidity to trade outside of tradfi markets.
So wouldn’t call it real innovation plus it’s all still dollar based it’s not based on sats or some other shitcoin token.
