🚨 Tokenized Stocks Face a Demand Problem 📉
The SEC recently opened a new path for tokenized stock trading in the U.S., but TD Cowen expects limited near-term demand from both retail and institutional investors.
Why?
• 🇺🇸 U.S. investors already have easy access to traditional shares
• 💧 Tokenized markets may face thinner liquidity
• ⚙️ Added operational complexity could limit adoption
• 🕐 24/7 trading doesn’t guarantee better pricing
• 🏢 Many stock issuers reportedly show little interest in tokenization
One example: 99.9% of Figure’s notional trading reportedly took place through its traditional listed shares rather than its blockchain-based version.
Meanwhile, perpetual futures could see stronger demand from crypto-native traders seeking leveraged exposure.
Will tokenized stocks eventually find a real use case beyond 24/7 trading?
