"are fungible with existing shares"

Fungible describes an asset that is interchangeable with another of the same kind because each unit holds the same value and function. For investors this matters because fungible assets are easier to trade, price, and store—think of cash or grains where one unit can replace another, unlike a unique artwork or a signed collectible which may be worth more or less depending on provenance. Fungibility affects liquidity, market efficiency, and how assets are settled or regulated.
