What to know:
- Hecto Finance aims to build a tokenized index of pre-IPO "Hectocorn" companies like OpenAI, SpaceX and ByteDance, giving public investors on-chain exposure to elite private firms.
- Supporters say such tokenization could broaden access to high-growth private markets, but critics warn that doing so without issuer consent risks legal uncertainty, weak investor protections and reputational damage.
- The clash between Hecto’s vision and concerns raised by industry figures, alongside episodes like Robinhood’s disputed OpenAI tokens, underscores how tokenized private equity is outpacing regulatory clarity and corporate buy-in.
