> They are permisionless protocols

No, they are not. You can trade a tokenized stock on top of a blockchain that happens to be permissionless, but you can also fully operate a permissioned protocol on top of a permissionless network. How many permissioned products run on top of TCP/IP (a permissionless protocol)?

Smart contracts enable any sort of logic that you can encode in a Turing-complete software language, including authorization controls, or awaiting offchain KYC checks, or whatever your heart desires.

Memecoins don't have anything to do with real stock, but tokenized stocks trend towards the underlying's price as long as they are redeemable for the underlying in a timely manner.
