Question 1

What are tokenized stocks?

Accepted Answer

An instrument traded on a crypto exchange whose price tracks a real asset: a share, a stock index, an ounce of gold, a barrel of oil. You buy it with a stablecoin, around the clock, without a brokerage account. Exchanges label such markets themselves — Bitget with an RWA flag, Binance with a separate trading group, OKX with an instrument category, Kraken with its xStocks line, Gate with a contract type. We read those labels instead of keeping our own ticker list: a list goes stale, a label arrives with the market.

Question 2

Do a share and a coin with the same ticker get mixed up?

Accepted Answer

That is the hard part of this section, and it is about names rather than spreads. Tickers collide more often than you would expect: STX is both Stacks at a few cents and a share worth hundreds of dollars; DASH is both a coin and DoorDash; QNT, CVX, ACN and GOLD tell the same story. Putting them on one row would show a spread of thousands of percent that does not exist. We keep the share and the coin in separate namespaces and verify the split by price: if what moves into “stocks” costs the same as what stays under the bare ticker, it is one asset and must not be cut in two.

Question 3

Which asset classes are covered?

Accepted Answer

Four: stocks (Apple, Tesla, Nvidia and the rest), indices (S&P 500, Nasdaq 100 and ETF baskets), metals (gold, silver, platinum, palladium) and commodities (oil, gas, copper). The class comes from the exchange — from the contract type or the symbol prefix; the switch above the table narrows the list down to one of them.

Question 4

How is this different from crypto arbitrage?

Accepted Answer

The maths is the same: buy at the ask, sell at the bid, minus taker fees on both venues, and the spread has to hold rather than flicker for a second. Two things differ, both coming from the underlying. First, the clock: the exchange trades the token around the clock, while the share behind it stands still overnight and at weekends, so venue prices drift further apart and converge more slowly during closed hours. Second, liquidity: order books here are noticeably thinner than crypto ones, and size eats the spread faster. We check the depth of each leg and drop dead books, but it is still worth a look before you enter.

Question 5

How do I get these gaps in Telegram?

Accepted Answer

Build a rule in builder: pick the “Arbitrage” source, the type you want and a spread threshold. The rule lives in your own private feed — the alert goes to you, not to a shared channel.
