Each explainer answers one question with the issuer's own wording where the answer is a fact. No regulator is paraphrased from memory; where the rules differ by jurisdiction, the page says which jurisdiction it is describing.

What a tokenized stock actually is

A tokenized stock is an issuer's claim on a share held in custody — not a share. What that changes, in five concrete points.

What you actually own when you hold a token

The legal chain from your wallet to the shares in custody — and the four places it can break.

Who issues tokenized stocks

Backed, Ondo Global Markets and Dinari — the legal entity, the backing model and the chains, as each issuer describes them.

The tokenized stock fee stack, line by line

Headline fee, conversion fee, spread, quote mark-up, gas, withdrawal — which of them are published, and which are not.

Dividends, withholding tax and the drift you will see

Why a token's price crawls away from the share price — reinvested dividends, withholding rates and the share multiplier, explained with the issuer's own numbers.

Redeeming at the issuer vs selling on a market

Two exits, two prices, two processes. What each issuer publishes about redemption, and what a secondary-market sale costs instead.

Who is allowed to buy tokenized stocks

The published exclusion lists for Backed, Ondo and Dinari — and why "available in 150 countries" is not the same as "available to you".

How to read the tracking gap

One formula, four causes, and the reason a gap beyond 40% is flagged rather than published as a premium.

The risks that are specific to tokenized stocks

Six risks that do not exist when you buy the share itself — issuer, custody, contract, chain, redemption and jurisdiction risk.
