I think OP's point was more about things which exist entirely on-chain, i.e. the idea of having stock ownership tracked directly there (rather than as a proxy for real shares tracked somewhere else).
In that frame, a better example is something like the DAI stablecoin, which is backed by assets that are on-chain. So at any block, you can audit exactly how many DAI there are, exactly which assets exist to back it, and exactly what the last reported oracle prices are for those assets.
