Who holds the underlying asset?
Check the issuer, custodian, reserve evidence and what happens during insolvency or a platform suspension.

Is it available in your region?
Stock-related products can be restricted by jurisdiction and may change without being available to every account.

FAQ
Common stock-access questions
Can a crypto exchange offer US stock trading?
Some platforms offer tokenized stock exposure, CFDs, synthetic products or broker routing. Those structures are not automatically the same as owning a share in a traditional brokerage account.
Are tokenized stocks the same as real shares?
Not necessarily. Check who holds the underlying shares, whether the token can be redeemed, and whether holders receive dividends, voting rights or insolvency protection.
What is the risk of 24/7 stock trading?
Outside the main US session, liquidity may be thinner and prices can diverge from the underlying market. Wider spreads, slippage and issuer risk still apply.
What should a beginner verify first?
Identify the legal product, issuer, custodian, regional availability, fee structure, trading hours, redemption terms and what happens if the platform or token is suspended.
