What investors need to know about the SEC's plan to allow tokenized stock trading

Image
Benoit Tessier/Reuters The SEC is working on a framework to allow for 24/7 trading of tokenized stocks. Stock tokens would track the price of actual shares, offering more liquidity and faster settlement. The idea offers some advantages for traders, but there are risks, market pros say. A plan in the works from the Securities and Exchange Commission could reshape stock trading in the US. Bloomberg reported this week that the SEC is gearing up to let investors trade tokenized stocks , issuing an "innovation exemption" for the cryto-like assets that would create a new 24/7 market that's parallel to the existing stock market. So, what's that mean exactly, and what should investors know? "An example could be a tokenized version of Apple or Nvidia would be a blockchain-based asset designed to track or represent the underlying stock," Shay Boloor, chief market strategist at Futurum Equities, told Business Insider. Crypto enthusiasts have said any real-world asse...

I fought to keep my dad at home after he developed dementia. I wish I'd moved him to long-term care sooner.

Image
Kelly Burch My dad was diagnosed with dementia in his early 50s. Caring for him while raising a toddler was incredibly stressful. When he entered long-term care, we were both happier and healthier. When I found myself on a first-name basis with the local paramedics, I knew I needed to face the truth: my dad couldn't continue living at home . It was only a matter of time before the minor emergencies that the EMTs were responding to became something major. That's how I found myself trudging toward an old brick nursing home with my toddler on my hip and my dad reluctantly shuffling behind me. The notorious nursing home smell greeted us as soon as we walked in, and I almost turned around then and there. Instead, I shook hands with the administrator who was giving us a tour. For years, I had made institutions like this the worst-case scenario. And yet, while I noticed the antiseptic smell and dated decor, I also saw that people were happy and engaged. Soon, my daughter was crawling...

The author went to The Sphere to see No Doubt. Courtesy of the author I saw No Doubt open for David Bowie in Brazil in 1997. Almost 30 years later, I went to see No Doubt at the Sphere in Las Vegas. It was both a reminder about getting old, but also of still being myself even after all these years. My family had just moved to Brazil, and I had to beg my parents to let me go to a music festival with all of my new high school friends. It was going to be the first time I'd be going to a show without them supervising me. They were reluctant, but after chatting with other parents, they all agreed that it was time for my group of 13-year-old girlfriends to experience some independence. So they dropped us off at the stadium's door and told us to be back by midnight. I was thrilled. I was seeing my favorite band, No Doubt . My friends were thrilled about the main act, David Bowie. Almost 30 years later, I saw No Doubt again at The Sphere. I took a solo trip When I saw that No Doubt wa...

I was burned out postpartum. A trip taught me how to embrace community and changed how I parent.

The author says a two-month trip to India made her realize she needed community. Courtesy of the author We went to India to introduce our son to family, and ended up healing our own burnout as new parents. Two months of community support showed us how much we were missing by parenting in isolation. We learned to trust our instincts, embrace flexibility, and lean on others for support. Six months postpartum , I collapsed on the floor after work, exhausted from eczema-driven nighttime wake-ups and the thought of another day. After third-degree tearing, iron infusions, and mood struggles, I was running on empty. As my son's first birthday neared, nights slowly improved, but daytime exhaustion ramped up as his mobility increased. My husband and I had hit a wall. Needing a reset and for our new son to meet the family, we booked a two-month trip to India . We had family support Two layovers and three flights later, we touched down in Bagdogra in the Himalayan foothills. Stepping from ste...
