Buy Nvidia at 2 am on a Sunday? How Indians can own tokenised US stocks and how they differ from traditional trading

Investors are increasingly turning to tokenized versions of AI chip stocks like Nvidia and Micron on platforms like Mudrex to gain flexible, blockchain-based exposure to global technology markets.

Key Points

  • Nvidia has achieved a market capitalization of nearly $5 trillion following a 1,000% stock surge since November 2022.
  • Mudrex offers over 60 tokenized U.S. stocks, allowing users to trade digital assets backed 1:1 by real shares held by licensed custodians.
  • Tokenized stocks enable fractional ownership and 24/7 trading, bypassing traditional brokerage hours and standard settlement delays.
  • Investors can utilize Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) on these platforms to build long-term exposure to major tech companies.
  • Risks associated with tokenized assets include potential smart contract vulnerabilities, custody issues, and differences in regulatory protections compared to traditional brokerages.

Why it Matters

Tokenized stocks represent a growing bridge between traditional equity markets and decentralized finance by offering increased accessibility and liquidity for retail investors. This shift allows users to manage global assets through crypto infrastructure, though it requires careful consideration of the unique security and regulatory risks involved.
