Tokenized stocks are not a new idea. That's the part missing from most of these posts.
The 2021 version of this existed and it's gone. Binance itself launched stock tokens in April 2021 and shut them down within months. FTX had a version. Mirror Protocol ran synthetic equities on Terra until it didn't. Every one of them died, and none of them died because the demand wasn't there — demand was obvious, that was never the question.
They died because of what sat behind the token.
The 2021 designs were mostly synthetics or thinly-documented wrappers with unclear legal standing. Regulators looked at them and couldn't find an answer to a simple question: if this thing collapses, what exactly does the holder own? When there's no good answer, the product doesn't survive contact with a regulator.
What's structurally different now: bStocks are issued by BTech Holdings under prospectuses approved by the ADGM regulator, with each token backed 1:1 by a real share at a licensed custodian. That's not marketing polish on the same idea. It's the specific thing the last generation lacked — a documented legal claim and an identifiable entity standing behind it.
Which is why "is this like FTX's tokenized stocks" is the right question to ask, and the answer is in the prospectus, not in anyone's thread. Including this one. Go read it.
$NVDAB and the rest are only as good as the structure underneath them. Fortunately that structure is now something you can actually check.
