They are permisionless protocols, I don’t see how they can even forbid it. It shows a level of ignorance or ingenuity which I can comprehend.

There are also memecoins which as they rise, buy the underlying stock.

Being totally naive and asking an honest question: who or are they protecting themselves from? These instruments in reality are at most paired assets but most times have nothing to do with the real stock.
