1. Do tokenized stocks pay dividends, and how are stock splits handled?
Tokenized stocks do not pay dividends. Whether a token is split is not determined by the exchange, but by the issuer of the tokenized stock, who decides whether to make corresponding adjustments based on the underlying stock's split. For specific split rules, it is recommended to refer to the issuer's official documentation or announcements.
2. Is Gate licensed to offer tokenized stock trading?
Gate only provides order-matching and display services for token trading. Strictly complying with local regulatory requirements, Gate does not directly provide trading services for securities or stock-type assets.
3. Do I get voting rights in the corresponding stock if I buy tokenized stocks?
No. Tokenized stocks are on-chain derivative assets whose price is linked to the underlying stock, rather than actual shares issued by the company. Therefore, holders do not have shareholder voting rights, dividend rights, or any rights to participate in corporate governance. Their prices are typically pegged to the underlying stock price by a third-party institution or an on-chain protocol via an oracle mechanism.
4. What happens to tokenized stocks if the issuer runs into problems?
If the tokenized stock issuer faces bankruptcy, liquidation, default, or similar events, the token may lose its peg, suffer reduced liquidity, or even experience extreme price volatility or fall to zero. Gate will disclose relevant updates as soon as possible after receiving the issuer's official announcement.
5. Are there any fees for trading tokenized stocks?
Yes. Both maker and taker orders are charged the standard token trading fees. The exact fee rates are subject to what is displayed on the trading page.
