6.1. What Are Tokenized Stocks and ETFs?

Short Answer

Tokenized stocks, or tStocks, and tokenized ETFs, or tETFs, are digital instruments that allow you to access opportunities linked to the U.S. capital markets through TOHKN. A tStock is linked to the stock of a specific company, while a tETF is linked to a fund that combines multiple assets.

Explanation

A stock represents an economic interest in a publicly traded company. An ETF, on the other hand, works like an investment basket: it may combine multiple stocks, sectors, or indexes into a single instrument.

At TOHKN, these instruments are presented as tokens. This creates a simpler, more digital, and more accessible experience for exploring global investments through the app.

The main difference is simple:

A tStock gives you exposure to a specific company.

A tETF gives you exposure to a group of assets through a single investment.

This is important because investing in U.S. stocks or ETFs may previously have felt out of reach due to international accounts, complex processes, high minimum amounts, or limited clarity. With TOHKN, the goal is to make this access more approachable for people across Latin America.

Even so, tokenized does not mean risk-free. The value of these instruments may rise or fall based on market performance. Before investing, always review the asset information, applicable terms, fees, trading hours, and risks.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is a tStock the same as a traditional stock?

Not necessarily. A tStock is a tokenized instrument linked to a stock. Its rights and terms may vary depending on the product’s structure.

2. What is the difference between a tStock and a tETF?

A tStock is linked to a specific company. A tETF is linked to a basket of assets, which may help support diversification.

3. Can I invest at any time?

You can explore the app at any time, but order execution may depend on U.S. market hours and the availability of the asset.
