Three Models of Tokenized Stocks: On-Chain Equity, SPV Tokens, and Perpetual Contracts – Tokens as Independent Assets
This article dissects the three primary models of tokenized stocks: native on-chain equity (full shareholder rights), SPV-backed 1:1 spot tokens (composable but no direct ownership), and perpetual contracts with no underlying backing (pure price speculation). Each model caters to different user profiles: institutional long-term holders, DeFi users seeking composability, and short-term speculators. The key thesis is that tokens themselves function as independent assets, not merely derivative proxies for real shares.
