The Register · tokenized TSLA
What a tokenized TSLA holder owns
9 tokens issued by 9 programs track Tesla, Inc., and each gives the holder something different. Ketju has a file on 9 of them; each row below links to the file, which quotes the issuer.
What the holder owns
3 versions on file give the holder a claim on a real share that a custodian holds in its own name, with no vote:bStocks, Coinbase Tokenized Stock, Anchored aStocks. 6 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, bTokens. None gives the holder the Tesla, 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 5 of the 9 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, bTokens.
Where it is used
Coinbase Tokenized Stock’s TSLAC: Aave v4 on Base has taken AAPLc, AMZNc, GOOGLc, METAc, MSFTc, NVDAc, and TSLAc as collateral for USDC loans since 2026-09-25. A client who supplies USDC there lends against these certificates; a client who borrows against them can be liquidated into the Base bid while the stock market is closed. Read the Aave v4 memo.

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.
