Tokenized stocks and ETFs are now live on Felix

On-chain traders no longer have to off-ramp funds to gain exposure to US capital markets. Additionally, Felix users now have the ability to trade tokenized stocks/ETFs in large order sizes without the steep execution costs that have plagued on-chain adoption up until now (Example: Buy $1M in GOOGL on Felix with a net execution cost less than 10bps today).

Trade over 250 different assets now: https://t.co/tWR45uSgF1
