Do tokenized stocks have voting rights?

Usually no. Most tokens, particularly synthetic ones, do not carry voting rights of the underlying company.

Are tokenized stocks cheaper than traditional ones?

Not necessarily — token price tracks the share, but platform fees and spreads can differ from a broker.

Tokenized Stocks vs Traditional Stocks: 5 Key Differences

1. Custody

Traditional shares sit in a brokerage account under your name (or street name). Tokenized stocks live in your crypto wallet as a token; the underlying share (if any) is held by the issuer.

2. Trading Hours

Standard markets open ~6.5 hours on weekdays. Many tokenized platforms offer extended or 24/7 trading, though with thinner liquidity off-session.

3. Shareholder Rights

Buying real shares can give voting and dividend rights. Most tokenized tokens — especially synthetic ones — do not grant voting rights and may not pass dividends. See dividends.

4. Settlement

Traditional trades settle in days (T+1/T+2). Tokenized trades can settle near-instantly on-chain.

5. Access & Rails

Tokenized stocks can be bought with crypto and fractionalized easily, lowering the entry barrier versus some brokerage minimums.
