Tokenized Stocks: Architecture, Liquidity and Compliance

It also highlights the operating trade-offs, including integration with legacy financial systems, scalability, interoperability, security and regulatory compliance. For technology leaders, the decision is less about digitizing shares alone and more about whether the surrounding platform, controls and governance are mature enough for production use.
