Alpaca, a California-based broker-dealer, now custodies approximately 85.8% to 94% of the underlying shares for the tokenized equity market, serving major clients like Binance, Robinhood, and Coinbase. This dominance makes Alpaca a critical infrastructure provider for tokenized stocks, handling real-time minting, redemption, and corporate actions. While this reassures traders that tokens are backed by real shares, it also poses a risk due to market concentration. The future depends on whether competitors can reduce Alpaca's share and how regulators respond to this centralization.
Alpaca's role in holding real shares behind tokenized stocks provides context for readers.
