💹 Tokenized Markets: Stocks Meet Chains
While Robinhood's tokenized stock announcement certainly grabbed headlines, I’d attribute as much excitement around tokenized stocks to BackedFi, which launched xStocks the same day, allowing people to buy popular stocks like $SPY, $NVDA, and $TSLA on Solana.

Most at EthCC still felt these announcements were just half-measures. Yes, we can trade tokenized AAPL, but we’ve had this before. Real excitement will come when we can borrow against these and plug them into yield strategies. So, right now, we're in an awkward intermediate phase — progress without integration.

Outside of tokenized stocks though, people were generally excited about tokenization — particularly for commodities. Given uranium’s recent performance, Uranium Digital came up across multiple conversations as did continued interest in tokenized gold.
