DeFi tokens have always been an important part of the crypto market. The stock market is a major influence. The new developments from Amazon (NASDAQ) have an impact on DeFi tokens, which represent AMZN stocks in the crypto markets.

Amazon’s Stock Break Up

On June 6, the 20-for-1 stock split was implemented. This divided each AMZN share into 20 units. The shares currently trade at $128. This split won’t affect business fundamentals and will instead open new avenues to those looking to invest. Amazon shares weren’t available to smaller investors before the split.

Although the stock split can be a fantastic way to attract new investors, it has a slightly different effect than anticipated on DeFi tokens that represent it.

Many projects offer tokens that decentralize and represent real-world stock. DeFiChain, for example, lets users trade and mint dAMZN. It closely matches the Amazon stock on DeFi so you have price exposure, but no ownership. The dAMZN is a dToken on DeFiChain that mimics stock prices. It tracks and reflects a range of variables, and uses oracles for those feeds.

The way this works is that anyone with a staked share of 50% DFI and 50% of any other assets’ combination is able to mint the assigned dToken. If investors do not want to provide a mix of DFI and other assets, they are able to use DeFiChain’s decentralized stablecoin dUSD to mint a dToken. These dTokens are designed to replicate the price action of an actual asset and allow one to withdraw or invest in their stock of choice without having to go through the traditional banking process.

dAMZN Will Also Be Broken Up

Also, the token can be divided into 20 tokens just like Amazon stock. For every token held by the owners of the DeFi coin dAMZN, they will be able to get 20 tokens. However, their investment in the token is not increasing 20-fold.

Investors shall retain the same amount invested as before the split because DeFiChain is updating the price of dAMZN from the oracles.

Two stages were used to complete the stock split.DeFiChain immediately locked all the dAMZN tokens that were still in use. As the market closed at the adjusted split prices, DeFiChain started reflecting this price.

The main reason why dAMZN and other DeFiChain tokens are noticing bullishness is that the process of traditional investment takes up too much of one’s time. DeFi tokens require very little processing and are therefore much faster.

Millions of investors have struggled to access their preferred stocks in the US due to trading restrictions and geographical limitations. DeFiChain and its dTokens are helping these traders to gain price exposure for these assets, from any part of the globe.

Apart from that, one can also buy a fractional piece of a token, for example – one is able to buy 1/10th of the dTSLA token, which in the spot market is almost impossible to find. DeFiChain is able to expand the possibilities.

DeFiChain gives users the ability to mine liquidity for additional reward instead of just keeping these tokens in their wallet.

In conclusion, none of the dAMZN token holders have or will be affected drastically going forward since Amazon’s 20 for 1 split itself has been executed smoothly.
