bStock can be backed by a real 1:1 share—and still not grant voting rights.
This is where the concept of a “tokenized share” becomes easy to understand in too literal a way. Binance’s official page states that each bStock is backed by a real 1:1 share. But the FAQ separately clarifies: bStocks are not the shares themselves, they do not provide direct ownership of the underlying share, and their holders do not receive voting rights in the company.
So 1:1 answers the question “what is the token backed by,” but not the question “what corporate rights transfer to the holder.”
A hidden trade-off: for price exposure, this boundary may be insignificant. For participating in corporate governance, it is fundamental.
For me, bStock is an access tool to the economics of a share, but not a full replica of a shareholder’s status.
