Buying Stocks with crypto is here!

A few years ago, there was a nice protocol called Mirror which allowed buying synthetic stocks. They had a system to incentize keepers to maintain the prices of the synthetic assets relatively closely to the anchored stocks, and it worked. Was a gem. Unfortunately, it was on Terra network, which blew up and took down Mirror and every other protocol on there.

Yes, I remember they also offering options or futures on stocks. FTX offered stock/derivatives as well. They are both gone.

Bybit has launched direct trading of top global stocks with USDT as part of its Gold & FX (MT5) expansion. The new feature covers 78 key stocks from the technology, automotive, energy, and e-commerce industries.

Bybit said, “Users can now tap into traditional markets like stocks, gold, oil, indices, and forex, without fiat onboarding or leaving the crypto ecosystem.”

The crypto exchange added that the launch allows it to “unify crypto, stocks, and traditional assets under one roof” and enables “seamless trading” across asset classes from a single account.

Major stocks include Apple ($AAPL), Tesla ($TSLA), Meta ($META), Nvidia ($NVDA), Amazon ($AMZN), and Microsoft.

Bybit users will be discounted
Stock trading on Bybit will be facilitated through Contracts for Difference (CFDs) instead of Spot trading or the purchase of physical shares. This will allow users to gain exposure to price movements without owning the underlying asset.

A fee of 0.04 USDT per share applies. It has a minimum charge of 5 USDT per order. From June 2 to June 15, all Bybit users will get a 50% discount on fees for trading stocks through Gold & Forex.

We can start with technical outage all the way up to confiscation and nuclear war....lol. Bro what a question to ask.

I couldn't tell you all the ways a non-tokenized broker operation can go wrong. Can you?

You should have asked me an easier question like guess the bitcoin private key for a public wallet address you give me.
Kudos to you for not asking GPT o3-Pro to write out a realistic reply to my question, then posting it here as your own for internet brownie points.
