Yeah I think this is direction market is going in. Even the big institutional investment players have started tokenizing bonds and funds on i.e Securitize's platform. Self custody and round the clock trading in a kyc verified (participants) closed network is way things are going in financial markets.

P.S A lot of securities brokers are really gonna have to think about their business models going forward.

So does that mean you're investing in SOL, which then invests in those 50 stocks? You can’t choose which specific stocks to invest in or how much to allocate to each one?

The whole beauty of stocks (except speculation and wealth growth) is that in (un)likely case of your broker collapse your assets will still belong to you and the recovery process is usually quite fast - your new broker will be able to assign you your holdings from the depositary. So unless you are "trading" on some "kitchen" - you don't need to worry about the broker/bank insolvency.

Self-custody sounds good on paper but I don't quite understand what happens if you lose access to your wallet. Please, don't compare that to the whole "not your keys not your money" storing of crypto - they are two very different animals, stocks literally give you an partial ownership of a corporation, not some magic coins.

I have to admit, I’m also having a hard time fully understanding the product, so I’ll try to see how it works on Kraken over the coming week. It sounds new and exciting, but it might not be that smart in the end, still, I appreciate the tip shared in this thread.
