token

Imagine being able to buy or sell stocks at midnight on a Sunday, without waiting for the traditional stock market to open.
That is one possibility behind the growing discussion about putting traditional financial assets on blockchain.
The idea is called tokenization. In simple terms, it involves representing ownership of an asset, such as a stock, through a digital token on a blockchain.
Supporters believe this could make markets more accessible, enable faster settlement and allow trading beyond conventional market hours. It could also create new ways to transfer and manage financial assets.
But I see one major problem with the excitement surrounding this idea.
Making a market available 24/7 doesn't automatically make it safer, fairer or better for investors.
Traditional markets have established rules, market surveillance and mechanisms designed to protect investors. Moving trading onto blockchain would not automatically eliminate fraud, manipulation, technical failures or liquidity problems.
There are also important questions about ownership rights, regulation, cybersecurity and what happens when something goes wrong.
And if a token represents a stock, investors still need to understand whether they actually own the underlying shares or merely hold a digital product linked to their value.
My view? Blockchain could improve parts of the financial system, but the technology alone is not enough to guarantee a better market.
Here's where I want to hear your opinion:
Should stock markets eventually operate on blockchain 24 hours a day, seven days a week, or should traditional trading hours remain?
Would round-the-clock trading create more opportunities for ordinary investors, or expose them to more risk and pressure to trade constantly?
Tell me your position and, more importantly, why you believe it.
