This initiative underscores the growing interest in tokenized equities, which blend traditional finance with crypto-like trading. While these tokens have the potential to alter the securities investing landscape, they currently face a lack of clear regulatory guidelines in the US.
Separately, Yum Brands (YUM) is in talks to merge its Indian franchisees, Devyani International (DEVYANI) and Sapphire Foods (SAPPHIRE), according to a report by Reuters [2]. The deal could see Sapphire Foods merged into Devyani International via a share swap, with Sapphire shareholders potentially receiving one Devyani share for every three held. The deal may also involve Devyani acquiring Sapphire's KFC and Pizza Hut franchise rights or consolidating all KFC franchisee stores in India under Devyani. The report notes that shares of Sapphire Foods jumped nearly 9% while Devyani International rose about 3% after the report.
These developments highlight the evolving strategies of major financial services and foodservice companies to expand their reach and capitalize on new market opportunities.

In a move that could reshape the international trading landscape, Robinhood Markets Inc. (NASDAQ:HOOD) has announced the launch of tokenized US stocks for its European Union (EU) customers [1]. The new offering, which includes popular companies like NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:NVDA), Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL), and Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:MSFT), allows commission-free trading around the clock, 5 days a week. Robinhood plans to expand this offering to include tokens linked to stocks of privately held companies. The tokens are being issued through a partnership with the blockchain firm Arbitrum, with plans to eventually develop its own Layer 2 blockchain for 24/7 trading and self-custody.This initiative underscores the growing interest in tokenized equities, which blend traditional finance with crypto-like trading.
