💨 Abstract

The article discusses the growing trend of tokenization, where real-world assets are turned into digital tokens using blockchain technology. This process aims to make trading cheaper, more transparent, and accessible. Industry leaders like Robinhood and venture capitalists see it as a revolution, comparing it to the impact of streaming services on television. However, critics warn of potential risks to securities law and investor protections. The SEC has taken a cautious stance, while President Donald Trump's administration supports more crypto-friendly regulations.
