> Should tokenized equities become normalized especially with a more crypto friendly SEC, provide a pathway for startups to go public with far less regulatory overhead, a fraction of the $15-25m in costs, and with a much broader reach of potential investors because token markets are global.

1. Tokenized equities will happen—but for existing equities.

2. But SaaS companies tokenizing natively in lieu of going public because of less regulatory overhead is a bad idea.

Working on Farcaster and Warpcast. Longer thoughts at https://dwr.email

Really interesting take. I think a lot of people underestimate the complexity that comes with tokenizing assets especially when regulation, investor trust, and long-term value are involved.

Also sent a quick DM on X, would love to get your thoughts on something I’m working on related to Farcaster.
