Nasdaq Receives SEC Nod for Trading in Tokenized Securities
Nasdaq’s rule allows trading of tokenized shares with identical rights as traditional shares, initially covering stocks in the Russell 1000 and major ETFs, SEC approved.
- The SEC approved Nasdaq's proposal on Wednesday to allow tokenized shares to trade on its main market, marking a significant milestone for integrating blockchain technology into U.S. equity markets.
- Nasdaq filed the proposal in September, developing a framework where listed companies issue blockchain-based shares that trade alongside traditional stocks on the same order book and at identical prices.
- Initially, tokenized trading targets Russell 1000 Index stocks and exchange-traded funds tracking major benchmarks, with the Depository Trust Company managing clearing and settlement to ensure market rule adherence.
- This initiative aims to modernize the $126 trillion equity market through near-instant, around-the-clock trading, as exchange operators capitalize on the growing digital asset sector under President Trump.
- These tokenized securities will carry identical rights, ticker symbols, and CUSIP identification numbers as traditional shares, ensuring surveillance and data reporting remain compliant with existing market standards.
