Robinhood has moved stocks onto the blockchain— even AMC, of all things, has been tokenized. AMC’s CEO even publicly started lashing out. But what’s really interesting is that at the same time, Nasdaq invested $100 million into Payward, a blockchain finance company.
One is shouting, the other is throwing money—who’s being more honest doesn’t really need me to say, right.
What $HOOD is doing in essence is to let retail investors worldwide bypass traditional brokers to buy U.S. stocks, lowering costs and entry barriers by an order of magnitude. But who holds the voting rights, who safeguards the underlying stocks, and whether the tokens are truly one-to-one backed—these core questions are still unanswered clearly to this day.
This year, the RWA track has been quietly moving forward—not just talking slogans, but with real money backing it. Behind Nasdaq’s investment in Payward, there’s actually another layer of connections, including links to a leading exchange that’s worth digging into further. Where do you think traditional finance on-chain will first truly take off?
