first_img The dispute over AMC tokenized stocks is spreading, with intense debates in the industry about three issuance models

According to The Defiant, the dispute between AMC Entertainment CEO Adam Aron and Robinhood over tokenized AMC stock has escalated into a debate among tokenized stock issuers about which model should become the industry standard.Gabriel Otte, co-founder of Dinari, criticized Robinhood's synthetic tokens with Ondo as "worse for end investors than regular stocks," while Uniswap founder Hayden Adams compared it to early stablecoins, stating that it meets users' demands for programmability and 24/7 trading.Currently, three models are competing in the $2.91 billion tokenized stock market: Robinhood's stock tokens are debt securities issued by a Jersey entity, available only to non-U.S. persons; Ondo, xStocks, and Dinari hold the underlying stocks through regulated intermediaries and pass on economic benefits; Securitize and Superstate directly put company-registered stocks on-chain. The U.S. SEC's Division of Corporation Finance has legally defined the three models as of January 28. Data from rwa.xyz shows that the total scale of tokenized stocks reaches $2.91 billion, with a 14.4% growth over 30 days, and Ondo leads with $869.6 million.Securitize CEO Carlos Domingo also supports Aron's position, stating that he does not wish for others to create offshore derivatives of company stocks. Brian Huang, co-founder of Glider, believes that the trading venue is more important than the packaging format, as AMMs cannot guarantee users the best execution.

first_img AMC CEO criticizes Robinhood stock tokens, stating the company has no connection

AMC Theatres CEO Adam Aron criticized the AMC stock token launched by Robinhood on the X platform on Thursday, stating that AMC has no association with this product and does not endorse it. Aron indicated that Robinhood is clearly pushing a plan involving the "tokenization of real-world assets related to AMC (including stock tokens)" and called this practice "despicable" and "outrageous." AMC will request an investigation into this matter by external securities legal counsel.Robinhood's stock tokens are derivatives that provide holders with economic exposure to U.S. stocks but do not confer ownership of the underlying stocks. Other tokenization models include custodians holding traditional stocks and issuing tokens as endorsements, as well as issuers authorizing the direct on-chain registration of stocks. This conflict comes at a time when tokenized stocks are attracting the attention of crypto exchanges, brokerages, and Wall Street institutions, as blockchain tracks enable round-the-clock trading, faster settlements, and broader distribution.Robinhood has made tokenization a core part of its crypto expansion, launching tokens last year that track hundreds of U.S. stocks and ETFs, and is building its own blockchain to support tokenized assets. Previously, OpenAI also publicly denied the tokens related to it launched by Robinhood, stating that they do not represent OpenAI equity and that it has not collaborated with or endorsed Robinhood. AMC's opposition brings this controversy to the level of publicly traded companies.
