Gemini Disrupts EU Markets: Tokenized Stocks Launch with Strategy Shares in Bold Crypto Play
Gemini just fired the opening shot in Europe's tokenization wars—and traditional finance won't like it.
The crypto exchange rolled out tokenized stocks for EU investors today, starting with Strategy Shares. No more waiting for market hours or dealing with legacy brokers. Want Tesla or Apple exposure? Now you can trade it 24/7 alongside your Bitcoin.
Tokenized stocks bridge DeFi and TradFi—but let's be real, Wall Street's sweating more about losing custody fees than 'democratizing finance.' Gemini's move pressures regulators to keep up while giving crypto natives a backdoor into equities. Clever? Absolutely. Ironic? That too.
One problem solved: liquidity fragmentation. One created: another regulatory gray area. Place your bets—this could accelerate crypto's institutional takeover... or trigger a compliance crackdown.
