The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) has announced plans to develop a platform for tokenized securities trading, aiming for a 24/7 operation with on-chain settlement. This initiative, still in its early stages, will integrate the NYSE Pillar matching engine with blockchain-based systems, supporting multi-chain settlement and custody. The platform will allow order placement by USD amount and fund transfers using stablecoins. NYSE is seeking regulatory approval, with a launch expected in late 2026. This move positions NYSE in direct competition with Nasdaq, which has also proposed integrating blockchain technology for tokenized securities trading. Unlike Nasdaq's hybrid model, NYSE plans a fully independent blockchain-based platform, collaborating with banks like BNY Mellon and Citigroup to support tokenized deposits. This development marks a significant shift in traditional securities markets, aiming to enhance efficiency and attract global investors.
