[](<p class=)[Currently, the tokenized stock market is still in its early stages, with limited trading depth, large bid-ask spreads, and occasional price deviations from spot prices, making it difficult to completely eliminate these issues in the short term. However, as more platforms enter, market makers expand liquidity pools, and institutional investors gradually participate, market capacity and efficiency are expected to improve rapidly. For the financial industry seeking incremental stories in a new cycle, tokenized stocks are undoubtedly a long-term experiment worth betting on.
