                                            Equiniti keeps the legal shareholder record for nearly 3,000 public companies, and Bullish has agreed to buy it for $4.2 billion to build a transfer agent for tokenized stock. CEO Dan Kramer explains what makes a token a real share, how a dividend gets paid when one stock sits on both traditional and blockchain systems and what boards are asking now that the SEC permits onchain trading and the DTCC is launching its tokenization service. The deal is due to close in January 2027.
