Why the conviction moved

• Sep 12
  Strengthened +6

  Robinhood's chief executive argued issuers such as AMC should not hold a veto over tokens tracking their shares, as the SEC opened a 60-day rulemaking on blockchain-based shareholder registers. A formal SEC rulemaking on on-chain registers moves the open-versus-permissioned question from product dispute to regulatory text, which is what determines whether tokenized equities can live on public chains without issuer consent.

• Sep 11
  Strengthened +7

  Nasdaq invested $100 million into Kraken's parent at a $21 billion valuation explicitly targeting tokenization infrastructure, while an SEC proposal would remove the duplicate off-chain shareholder register tokenized securities must currently maintain. The register requirement is the main legal reason a token can only mirror rather than be the share; removing it makes the on-chain record authoritative, and an incumbent exchange operator buying into a crypto venue signals the closed-venue side hedging toward public rails.
