AMC stock ($AMC) is trending today because CEO Adam Aron publicly blasted Robinhood for launching tokenized AMC shares without the company’s involvement, and the stock jumped sharply overnight. crypto.newsOn Thursday, Aron posted on X that Robinhood is offering “tokenized real-world assets including Stock Tokens” tied to AMC (and supposedly 190 other companies). He said AMC has “no connection to this at all, and do not condone it in any way,” called the practice “contemptible, outrageous, disgusting, detestable, inexcusable, vile,” questioned how it could be legal, and said AMC would immediately consult outside securities counsel. @Narutoumuzaki_These tokens give economic exposure to the stock price (and sometimes dividends) but do not confer actual shareholder rights. They are issued offshore (Robinhood Assets Jersey Limited) and are not registered under U.S. securities laws; they generally cannot be offered to U.S. persons. crypto.newsMarket reaction
