A tokenized stock is usually a structured note, not a share. You get the price exposure but not the share itself, and that gap hides issuer, redemption, and legal risks most users miss.
LEO is Bitfinex's exchange token, but it doubles as a credit claim on the firm. Here's what holders actually get and what they don't.
DePIN tokens back real hardware networks like Filecoin and Render. AI tokens like TAO and VIRTUAL fund software models with no physical layer. The economics diverge sharply.
Tokenization turns real-world assets like real estate and bonds into blockchain tokens. Here's how it works, why institutions care, and the catch.
AI tokens aren't all structured the same. TAO, VIRTUAL, FET, VVV, and RENDER share a label but hide very different supply, unlock, and fee-capture designs.
Gold tokens like PAXG and XAUT track metal prices with no yield. T-bill tokens like BUIDL and OUSG pass through ~4-5% yield but add custodial and KYC layers. They're different tools, not rivals.

Hedera's HBAR token has survived a decade on the back of enterprise pilots and a unique gossip protocol. Here is what it actually does, and what it does not.
Honeypots, copy-paste scams, and hidden mints are still draining wallets. Here is the exact checklist most traders skip, and where it actually fails.
Backed 1:1 sounds reassuring. But tokenized gold is a chain of claims, not a bar in your hand, and the failure modes live in the seams.
Tokenized treasuries are regulated fund interests with daily NAV. Tokenized real estate is usually an SPV claim with appraisals and lock-ups. The risk surfaces barely overlap.
BlackRock's BUIDL and peers sit behind a stack most people never see: qualified custodians, transfer agents, whitelisted wallets, and dual-control signing.
A coin is the native money of a blockchain; a token is an asset that lives on top of one. The distinction is small but it shapes risk, fees and behaviour.
Tokenized money market funds are regulated fund shares with floating NAVs, while stablecoins are payment tokens pegged to $1. The legal wrapper changes everything.
