Explainer
- Explainer Are tokenized stocks legal in the US? That is a lawyer's question, and this page does not answer it. The narrower question is whether an issuer will deal with you, and each issuer answers that on its own page. Here is where each one publishes its rule, and why this site links to them rather than copying them. Read →
- Explainer Can you buy stocks on the weekend? The exchange closes, the chain does not No. NASDAQ is closed on Saturday and Sunday, and an order placed on the weekend waits for Monday's opening auction. The tokens that track the same companies keep trading. Read →
- Explainer Can you vote with a tokenized stock? No. None of the four issuers we track passes a shareholder vote to token holders. Three state that in their own terms; Dinari does not address it either way. The wrapper is the reason, and the blockchain has nothing to do with it. Read →
- Explainer Do tokenized stocks pay dividends? Yes, and four issuers do it four different ways. One pays stablecoin to your wallet. Three raise a number instead of paying you anything. Here is how to tell which one you hold. ORCL Read →
- Explainer GameStop on chain: the stock that made ownership a question GME's story is about who holds the shares and how you would prove it. On a public chain, a holding is an entry anyone can read. Here is where GameStop stands on chain today. GME Read →
- Explainer How many stocks are on chain? 194 stocks, 431 listings, four issuers, five chains, as of 2 September 2026. The four numbers count different things, and only one of them answers the question. Read →
- Explainer How to check a tokenized stock is real A token can show the correct symbol and still be a copy. The contract address is what identifies it, and here is how to check one without connecting anything. Read →
- Explainer Point your AI assistant at this site's data This site runs a read-only server that an AI assistant can read. There is now a page giving the exact settings for Claude, ChatGPT, VS Code, Cursor and Gemini CLI, and four of the five want them written differently. Read →
- Explainer Tokenized stock, CFD, or the real share: what is the difference? Three ways to get exposure to a share price without holding the share the same way. They differ in who you are exposed to, what settles, and whether anyone can check the record. Read →
- Explainer Tokenized stocks and ETFs: the difference is arbitrage An ETF has machinery that pulls its price back to the value of what it holds. Most tokenized stocks do not. That one absence explains most of what is different about them. Read →
- Explainer What a tokenized stock's holder count tells you Holders are wallets, not people, and a large share of supply usually sits in protocol contracts rather than with anybody. Here is how to read the number without fooling yourself. Read →
- Explainer What are Dinari dShares? The only issuer we track that pays cash dividends to your wallet, and the only one incorporated in the United States. Its US rule changed in its documentation, and this entry quotes the current one. Read →
- Explainer What do you need before you can hold a tokenized stock? Two routes with very different requirements. One needs an account and an identity check. The other needs a wallet, a recovery phrase you can never lose, and a small amount of the chain's own currency. Read →
- Explainer What happens if a tokenized stock stops being listed? A token can outlive the venue that quoted it, the issuer's support for it, or the company itself. Three different endings, and the token survives all three. Read →
- Explainer What happens to a tokenized stock in a stock split? One number changes and no token moves. CrowdStrike's 4-for-1 split on Robinhood Chain is on record in two transactions you can open right now. CRWD Read →
- Explainer What happens to your tokenized stock if the issuer fails? This is the question the wrapper exists to answer, and it answers it differently for each of the four issuers. A debt security and a one-to-one backed certificate put you in different positions. Read →
- Explainer What is a tokenized stock? Stocks on chain, explained A tokenized stock is a token on a public blockchain that tracks the price of a real share. Here is who issues them and what you actually hold. Read →
- Explainer What is ERC-8056, and why do stock tokens need it? A token extension that lets one number stand in for millions of transfers. It is what makes a dividend on a tokenized stock cheap enough to process at all. CRWDORCL Read →
- Explainer What is Ondo Global Markets? An issuer putting 75 tokenized stocks across Ethereum, BNB Chain and Solana. Its dividend figure lives outside the token, which means your wallet balance will not move when one is paid. Read →
- Explainer What is Robinhood Chain? A blockchain operated for Robinhood's own stock tokens. 194 stocks live on it, dividends and splits are handled by one number on the token, and every event is public on Blockscout. Read →
- Explainer What is xStocks, and who is Backed? Tracker certificates on Solana and Ethereum, collateralized one to one by the share they follow. The only issuer we track using a bearer certificate structure. Read →
- Explainer What the issuers say a stock token legally is Four issuers, four descriptions, all published by them. This page puts the four side by side and stops there, because characterising somebody's instrument for them is not our job. Read →
- Explainer Which blockchains have tokenized stocks on them? Five, as far as we can read: Robinhood Chain, Ethereum, BNB Chain, Solana and Base. Which issuer chose which, and what that means for checking a token. Read →
- Explainer Who holds the share behind a tokenized stock? Sometimes a custodian, sometimes a US broker-dealer, sometimes an SPV, and in one structure there is no specific share held for your token at all. The answer changes with the issuer. Read →
- Explainer Why does a tokenized stock's price differ from the share price? Four reasons, and only one of them is a problem. The chain trades when the exchange is shut, the token is a different instrument, liquidity is thin, and a multiplier may be doing arithmetic you have not accounted for. Read →
- Explainer Why NVDA exists seven times but gets one page A stock, an instrument and a listing are three different things. Getting them confused is how a directory turns into a shopping aisle. Here is the model this site uses. NVDA Read →
- Explainer Why one token can have hundreds of pools Anybody can create a trading pool for any token, at any fee. The issuer is not asked. We counted the pools that hold the tokens on this site, and we do not know who made most of them. Read →
