ARK researcher Lorenzo Valente has highlighted potential challenges for tokenized stocks, particularly concerning two- and three-layer SPV wrapper structures. Valente emphasized the importance of Bullish's acquisition of Equiniti and Securitize's initiatives to integrate compliant equity ownership on-chain as pivotal steps for institutional adoption of tokenized equities. Valente cautioned that the future market might see a rise in wrapper products like equity SPVs and debt notes. He warned that if the underlying rights and transfer restrictions are not clearly defined, tokenized stocks could devolve into speculative assets, undermining their intended purpose in the crypto RWA space.
