Recently, a new topic has been circulating in the investment community: the SEC has launched a "crypto initiative," essentially extending an olive branch to on-chain finance. Against this backdrop, projects in the #RWA sector have emerged like mushrooms after rain, becoming one of the most notable directions in #Web3 for the next 3-5 years. 🧐
Recently, #MyStonks announced that they have successfully completed the SEC's STO (Security Token Offering) filing. To be honest, many cryptocurrency enthusiasts may not fully understand the significance of the STO filing, but for someone like me, an old investor, this is extremely important and far-reaching, and it could significantly impact how ordinary people invest in U.S. stocks.
I specifically researched this and read an exclusive interview with #MyStonks CMO Keaton Hu. Below, I will explain in simple terms what this so-called "on-chain finance" and "STO filing" really are, and why they deserve our attention.
Having been in the U.S. stock market for so many years, one thing I know for sure is that U.S. securities regulation is very strict. If you want to legally issue security tokens (STO) in the U.S., the paperwork alone can drown you, not to mention various legal reviews and information disclosure requirements. Therefore, #MyStonks obtaining the SEC's STO filing is equivalent to receiving a "pass" — it can legally issue and trade security tokens in the U.S.
Don't underestimate this license; it's not just a document. It serves as a credit endorsement for the platform, meaning that what it does is legal and compliant, and the SEC is aware of it.
1️⃣ How is STO different from the cryptocurrencies we usually deal with?
The impression most of us have of the crypto space is that projects issue their own tokens and list them on exchanges, often in a regulatory gray area.
STO, on the other hand, is completely different — it is essentially a combination of "securities + blockchain."
• The assets must be real, such as stocks, bonds, or real estate shares.
• Each token is backed by corresponding asset custody ( #MyStonks has partnered with Fidelity for custody, which is a prestigious name on Wall Street).
• Transactions, information disclosure, and investor qualifications all follow securities laws.
In simple terms, these tokens are not just for fun; they are genuine digital securities.
2️⃣ Why do I think #MyStonks is riding the wave of #RWA?
I have seen too many overseas investors stuck at the "account opening" step — especially friends from China, Southeast Asia, and South America who want to invest in U.S. stocks but face cumbersome procedures, high costs, and inconvenient time zones. Additionally, China is currently reviewing the tax issues related to U.S. stock trading (with heavy impacts on traditional U.S. brokers like Futu and Tiger Brokers).
The tokenization of U.S. stocks and bonds through STO allows global investors to trade directly on-chain 24/7, without needing to open a U.S. stock account, waiting for the market to open, and they can directly participate using crypto assets.
This time, #MyStonks is the first to complete the STO filing, which means it has positioned itself ahead of the curve. As regulations become clearer and market demand surges, it will be one of the first RWA projects to reap the benefits.
3️⃣ Direct benefits for investors wanting to play in the U.S. stock market:
From my own experience with #MyStonks, there are several advantages to this type of compliant digital securities platform:
Security: With SEC filing in hand, at least you don't have to worry about the platform disappearing one day.
Transparency: Asset custody is verifiable, and transactions are on-chain, making it more transparent than traditional brokers.
Liquidity: 24/7 trading eliminates the concept of pre-market and after-hours trading; you can buy and sell anytime.
Cross-border freedom: Geographic restrictions are broken, allowing global investors to participate in U.S. asset allocation.

Overall, the development process of #MyStonks can be described as rapid and efficient. This STO filing is not just about gaining a qualification; it is a bet on a larger trend — the full tokenization of real assets. Once more stocks, bonds, and ETFs can be put on-chain, the traditional brokerage model may undergo significant transformation, and #MyStonks is already laying a solid compliance foundation. In the short term, this adds to brand and market trust; in the medium to long term, it could be a stepping stone for entering the institutional market. The earlier you participate, the greater the opportunity! 🧐
