As tokenized stocks gain adoption on blockchain networks, the terminology in traditional finance is bound to shift. How do we distinguish between assets that exist only on-chain versus those in the conventional system? Some suggest calling traditional equity shares "legacy stocks," while others propose "off-chain stocks" to highlight the infrastructure difference. With RWA (Real-World Assets) moving center stage in the crypto ecosystem, this linguistic evolution reflects a deeper transformation—the boundary between traditional and decentralized finance is blurring. The way we label these instruments will eventually reshape how we think about ownership itself. Which terminology resonates most with you?

Honestly, "legacy stocks" sounds a bit like mocking traditional finance... I actually prefer the on-chain term, it's more direct and concise.
