@Hodor There could end up being some sort of required disclosures for private companies that are tokenized. Similar to publicly held company requirements.

🚨JUST IN: $2.7T Citigroup is launching TOKENIZED shares of PRIVATE companies.
Citi says it is already in talks with some of the world’s largest private companies to issue tokenized depositary receipts.
The rollout starts with foreign investors, with plans to make it available to U.S. investors later.
🇨🇳Sinopec, the biggest Chinese refiner, bought ZERO Saudi crude for a 2nd straight month.
Saudi July allocations to China: 12M barrels, 387k bpd. Record low.
Aramco even cut its July OSP by $6/bbl and buyers still didn't come back, because prices remain far above pre-war levels.
China's May imports hit a DECADE low.
Refiners are cutting runs at a loss.
China spent years buying cheap barrels and filling strategic + commercial tanks.
Now it's living off that stockpile instead of paying war prices.
While the US drains its SPR to supply the world, China drains its reserves to avoid the market entirely.
Same tool, opposite strategy.
Regular readers know the rule flexibility is a stock, not a flow.
China's buyer strike is the hidden force capping this rally but inventories run out.
When Beijing must return to a supply-short market, that re-entry bid is the next leg higher.
The question is when, not if.
💡China's energy administration just met Aramco's downstream chief in Beijing.
Saudi needs its biggest customer back and China needs secure barrels.
Someone blinks first.
