Tokenized stocks just hit $3.5B market cap — up 33% this month, 860% YoY.

What changed? SEC's Innovation Exemption (Sept 17) gave a 5-year legal sandbox for on-chain US equities. First time regulators built a path instead of hunting it down.

The numbers:
• Holders: 100K → 4.3M in 12 months (43x)
• Monthly volume: $237M (Jan) → $7.9B (Aug)
• NYSE already onboarding tokenized stocks to 44M crypto accounts

You can now trade $AAPL $NVDA 24/7, buy fractions, settle instantly — no waiting for Wall Street to open.

$3.5B is dust compared to the $50T+ US equity market. If even 1% migrates on-chain, we're still early.

Would you buy tokenized stocks over traditional brokers?
