I was thinking about bringing U.S. stocks onto the blockchain before, and as someone in the crypto world, buying U.S. stocks is actually quite convenient.

I didn't expect there to be so many twists and turns inside.
During the AI boom, I summarized some U.S. stock benchmarks in storage/liquid cooling/energy/satellites/infrastructure.
Last night, just before making a move, I tested a few platforms that are currently relatively easy for retail investors to get started with, summarized as follows:
1️⃣:
✅ Advantage: Currently the most pure U.S. stock on-chain platform, allowing participation in U.S. stock IPOs, all U.S. stocks on the platform are 1:1 pegged to stock tokens.
❌ Disadvantage: However, they mainly focus on popular stocks, and many stocks are not included. For example, the Modine Manufacturing (MOD) I checked last night is missing, and they prefer to select "blue-chip" and "high-frequency" assets with excellent liquidity.
Summary: For those interested in U.S. stock IPOs, holding popular stocks long-term, and unable to open a brokerage account, this is an option.
2️⃣ stablestock:
✅ Advantage: Covers most "internet-famous U.S. stocks" with high volatility and retail discussion, as long as they are popular, the platform will list them promptly.
❌ Disadvantage: The U.S. stocks on the platform are not 1:1 pegged stock tokens; they are more like "spread contract tokens," which fetch real-time U.S. stock prices via oracles.
Summary: Suitable for short-term trading of internet-famous stocks, participating in Hong Kong stock IPOs, and those without brokerage accounts.
3️⃣ ZhongAn:
✅ Advantage: Covers over 90% of mainstream stocks/ETFs, licensed institutions, and allows participation in Hong Kong stock IPOs.
❌ Disadvantage: Opening an account requires visiting Hong Kong in person.
Summary: For those interested in IPOs, long-term holding of U.S. stocks, and able to make a trip to Hong Kong.
