The Register · tokenized AAPL
What a tokenized AAPL holder owns
8 tokens issued by 8 programs track Apple Inc.. They share a ticker and little else. 8 are on file; each row below links the file with the issuer’s own words.
What the holder owns
3 versions on file give the holder a claim on a real share that a custodian holds, not the share in the holder’s own name, and no vote: bStocks, Coinbase Tokenized Stock, Anchored aStocks. 5 versions are notes or swaps that pay like the share and carry no rights in it: xStocks, Ondo Global Markets, Robinhood Stock Tokens, rTokens, Dinari dShares. None gives the holder the Apple Inc. share itself, and none carries SIPC protection in the wallet.
Who may hold it
No version on file is offered to US persons.
Who can freeze it
In 4 of the 8 programs with a readable contract, one private key can freeze, pause, or claw back holders’ tokens, or grant that power: xStocks, Robinhood Stock Tokens, Coinbase Tokenized Stock, Dinari dShares.

Market cap is CoinGecko’s figure on 2026-09-24, for the token itself, not the share it tracks. “Freeze key held by” names the weakest key that can freeze, pause, or claw back a holder, or grant that power, read from the chain.
