Pros:

• Its logistics network gives it delivery speed that is costly for rivals to replicate.

Cons:

• Retail margins are thin, and the cloud market is highly competitive with Microsoft and Google.

• Counterparty risk: if the issuer or custodian fails, the backing may not be recoverable.

• Tracking risk: the token price can diverge from the underlying, particularly outside US market hours when the underlying does not trade.

• Liquidity risk: on-chain liquidity is thinner than the underlying market, so spreads can widen sharply.

• Regulatory risk: India does not yet have a settled framework for tokenised equities, and tax treatment remains unclear.

• Price risk specific to the underlying instrument. For possible price paths, see our Amazon stock price prediction.
