ACATS — the cat at the table
onchain analog · not NSCC

A cat. ACATS.

This is not the Automated Customer Account Transfer Service. It does not move Nasdaq or NYSE shares. It is a meme that borrows the name to deposit tokenized SPCX / NVDA plus the meme into an onchain pool.

Vlad Tenev, Feb 2022: A cat / ACATS
  1. Before 1985: brokerage account transfers ran on paper. Slow. Easy to get wrong.
  2. 1985: NSCC (DTCC) launches ACATS — full and partial transfers between brokers.
  3. ACATS can move: stocks, ETFs, cash, some options.
  4. ACATS does not move: crypto, many fractionals, funds, bonds (unless a broker allows it).
  5. It still takes a few business days.
  6. 2022: Robinhood turns on inbound ACATS. Vlad posts the cat.
  7. 2026: the same tickers exist as tokens onchain. This site uses ACATS as a joke for deposit into pool.
