Nasdaq Makes Push to Launch Trading of Tokenized Securities
Nasdaq's proposal aims to enable 24/7 trading of tokenized securities with equal rights to traditional shares, potentially launching token-settled trades by late 2026, pending SEC approval.
- On Monday, Nasdaq filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to permit tokenization and blockchain listing of stocks and ETPs on the Nasdaq Stock Market, enabling member firms and investors to trade tokenized versions alongside traditional securities.
- Following recent crypto rule changes, Nasdaq argues it aims to modernize markets and capture rising investor demand for tokenized assets,
- If approved, Nasdaq's plan involves tokenized instruments trading alongside traditional shares on the same order book and settlement infrastructure like the Depository Trust Company.
- If approved, Nasdaq's plan would be the first to allow tokenized securities on a major U.S. exchange and could pave the way for Coinbase and Kraken, benefiting the digital-asset industry.
- Nasdaq also cautioned that some European trading platforms offer tokenized U.S. equities without actual shares, warning that wholesale exemptions from the national market system and FINRA-regulated broker-dealers are unnecessary and not in investors' best interests.
