What if a tokenized-stock platform de-syncs from the share registry?
A tokenized-stock platform de-syncing from share registries freezes redemptions and challenges on-chain equity ownership — the trade is a crypto-confidence hit centered on the issuing chain/platform and on Coinbase as the listed proxy, with ETH (DeFi/tokenization host) most exposed. Rhymes with the 2022 crypto-credit freezes (Celsius/3AC) where redemption gates triggered contagion. Forward angle: tokenization-of-RWA is a 2025 narrative darling, so a settlement break attacks the core bull thesis and re-rates the whole RWA/tokenization complex, not just one token. Roots are sensible.
how we built this number — every step
The class rate is measured from our dated, sourced event library (decade-normalized Poisson — the full table is public at base_rates.json). The variant’s share within its class is the analyst’s editorial call, published so you can audit it. A wider range means thinner precedent. Full recipe: methodology · scored at Reality Check.
The butterfly cascade
How this trigger trickles across markets, left → right — the root shock, its first‑order moves, then the ripple effects. Drag any node; tap a market for its real price history.
Resolution timeline — how this probability is moving
Our model's odds (gold) over time vs the crowd's (Polymarket, blue), from the past toward the 6–18 months horizon. Each dot is a real macro event that nudged the probability — green pushed it up, red pushed it down. Tap a dot for the source. The gold path is an illustrative reconstruction anchored to today's estimate — real dated events, not a live re-estimate history.
What it would mean
If this plays out, it is a risk-off shock. A tokenized-stock platform de-syncs from underlying share registries, freezing redemptions and questioning on-chain equity ownership. The trigger decomposes into signed root‑shocks — Crypto confidence ▼ · Risk appetite ▼ — which propagate through our causal graph to the markets below.
If it happens — the markets it would move
Biggest moves first. Projected moves are cascade-model priors; hist A–B% = what comparable past events actually did (measured abnormal returns), and model prior · unmeasured marks markets with no analogue backing yet. Tap any market for its price history.

Probable recommendation
Why we may diverge from history
Trust the cascade short on COIN: thin n=6 anchored to Solana's +89% dead-cat bounce off $8 is a stale FTX-overhang artifact, not a tokenized-settlement break — base rate unreliable.
Historical precedent — what analogous events actually did
Across 40 analogous events (overlap‑weighted), as abnormal returns — market beta stripped, so it's the event's own effect, not the market backdrop. Shown at 20 days (persistent) and 5 days (immediate); ↺ fades = the two horizons disagree. Confidence = consistency × sample × significance.

Why this probability
Tokenized-equity registry de-sync freezing redemptions is novel; market tiny mid-2026; rare structural break. A base‑rate‑anchored prior, continuously scored against what actually happens — not a forecast.
