Gate Research Institute: Stock tokenization drives RWA into a new era

Planet Daily News: Gate Research Institute released the latest research report "Arbitrage and Investment Opportunities in the Stock Tokenization Wave" pointing out that stock tokenization uses blockchain technology to map traditional stocks into on-chain tokens, with advantages such as tradability, divisibility, and 24/7 trading, becoming an important part of real-world asset (RWA) digitization. Currently, the market mainly has three implementation models: third-party custody + exchange access (such as Gate xStocks), licensed broker self-operated channels, and contract for difference (CFD). Professional investors can profit in the stock token market through three main strategies: hedging arbitrage between spot and token markets, cross-exchange arbitrage between different platforms, and information arbitrage based on trading time differences. For individual investors, stock tokenization provides more diverse asset allocation options, including fractional purchases of top stocks, more flexible trading times, and lower transaction costs. However, stock tokenization still faces multiple risks such as price decoupling, oracle failures, and unclear legal regulations, so investors should maintain a cautious attitude and reasonably manage risks. Stock tokenization brings the value of traditional enterprises onto the chain, which is both an important trend in global capital market digitization and brings new arbitrage and allocation opportunities for professional and individual investors. In the future, as regulatory policies gradually become clearer, this track is expected to continue developing.
