The Register · tokenized SOUN
What a tokenized SOUN holder owns
4 tokens issued by 4 programs track SoundHound AI, Inc, and each gives the holder something different. Ketju has a file on 4 of them; each row below links to the file, which quotes the issuer.
What the holder owns
One version on file gives the holder a claim on a real share that a custodian holds in its own name, with no vote:Anchored aStocks. 3 versions are notes or swaps that pay like the share and carry no rights in it: Robinhood Stock Tokens, Ondo Global Markets, rTokens. None gives the holder the SoundHound AI, 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 1 of the 4 programs with a readable contract, one private key can freeze, pause, or claw back holders’ tokens, or grant that power: Robinhood Stock Tokens.
Every version, side by side
| Version | What the holder has | Control | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Token | Program | Owns | Who may hold | Redemption | Freeze key held by | Market cap |
| SOUN | Robinhood Stock Tokens | Third-party synthetic | Not offered to US persons | Secondary market only; no issuer redemption | A single key | $54K |
| SOUNON | Ondo Global Markets | Third-party synthetic | Not offered to US persons | Redeem with the issuer in its window | An account only a program can sign for | $17K |
| RSOUN | rTokens | Third-party synthetic | Not offered to US persons | Redeem with the issuer in its window | Ketju found a freeze power but not who holds it | $7K |
| ASOUN | Anchored aStocks | Third-party custodial | Not offered to US persons | Redeem with the issuer in its window | Ketju found no freeze or claw-back power | None stated |
Market cap is CoinGecko’s figure on 2026-09-24, for the token itself and not for the share it tracks. The “Freeze key held by” column shows the weakest key that can freeze, pause, or claw back a holder, or grant that power, as Ketju read it from the chain.
