"When a platform blocks major markets, assume illegality Carlos Domingo, who has spent years navigating securities regulation across jurisdictions, offers a practical heuristic for evaluating tokenized asset products: "The moment somebody blocks US and Europe, it tells you that what they do is not legal. Because if it was legal, why would you block the two largest capital markets in the world where the money is?" Many derivative tokenization products claim to offer exposure to blue-chip equities like Tesla, but are actually creating unlicensed synthetic instruments from obscure jurisdictions. Before investing in any tokenized product, check whether it is accessible in the US and EU — if not, treat geo-blocking as a red flag for regulatory non-compliance.
