@grayruby you hit the nail on the head about US stocks outside the US with this.
“I think [tokenization] will become the default way to get exposure to U.S. stocks outside the U.S.,” said Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev.
His comments especially ring true with the US
Tenev expects the U.S. to be among the last economies to actually fully tokenize, due to what he calls the greater sticking power of the financial infrastructure.
Now it will be interesting if Robinhood and other companies work together to create on big blockchain for this or if each will have their own.

I am not bullish on tokenization. I think it is stupid and inherently risky but I do see the use case for people without access to US equities.

element of truth there, but its less stupid than the DTCC - which is itself just a rudimentary "tokenization" scheme (ie real shares are deposited into DTCC and you get a 'claim token' against them deposited into your brokerage account).
The simple fact of having no visibility into the DTCC makes me think there must be massive fraud going on....how many shares have they re-hypothecated?

Agree but DTCC is owned by the institutions that use it which incentivizes them to make sure it doesn’t fail.
Whereas onchain any bullshit crypto entity can say they are custodying RWA and issue tokens out of thin air. There might be more transparency in the tokens but not the underlying.
