Peter Schiff: SEC Tokenized-Stock Move Is Bearish for Bitcoin

Schiff's argument frames tokenized equities as a rival store of value, not merely a new trading format, which cuts to the heart of bitcoin's long-standing claim to that role. The significance lies less in his view — he is a known critic — than in the competitive question he raises: if regulated, dividend-bearing tokens offer comparable settlement convenience, the differentiation bitcoin relies on narrows. Whether that substitution actually plays out is the open question, and the market's apparent indifference to his framing is itself worth noting.
