The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) has announced that it is developing a platform for tokenized securities trading and on-chain settlement, for which it will seek regulatory approval. The platform intends to support 24/7 trading of U.S. stocks and ETFs, fractional share trading, stablecoin-based fund settlement, and instant delivery, integrating the NYSE’s existing matching engine with a blockchain settlement system. As planned, tokenized stocks will have the same dividend and governance rights as traditional securities. Meanwhile, Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), the parent company of the NYSE, is collaborating with banks such as BNY Mellon and Citigroup to explore tokenized deposit and clearing infrastructure to support cross-time zone and round-the-clock fund and margin management.
