Nasdaq Seeks SEC Approval for Tokenized Stock Trading

Nasdaq has filed an application with the U.S. SEC to enable trading of tokenized stocks on blockchain, indicating a push toward regulated digital asset trading.

This move highlights institutional interest in tokenization, aligning with developments in the sector and potentially boosting blockchain-based trading’s legitimacy.

Nasdaq’s Bold Step Towards Tokenized Stock Trading

Nasdaq has initiated a pivotal step in integrating blockchain technology into traditional markets, filing an application with the SEC to trade tokenized stocks. This development aligns Nasdaq with other institutions pursuing asset tokenization, as noted by PANews.

The proposal emphasizes regulatory compliance by ensuring investors receive all underlying share rights. Transactions will be processed via the Depository Trust Company, treating the tokenized stocks as traditional securities.

Nasdaq believes that markets can adopt tokenization technology while still providing the benefits and protections of a national market system, and that tokenized assets should be traded in regulated markets, including national securities exchanges, alternative trading systems, and broker-dealers regulated by the U.S. Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.

Historical Trends Point to Blockchain’s Growth Potential

Did you know? Nasdaq’s move to integrate tokenization builds on the momentum seen with Galaxy Digital’s tokenized equity shares on Solana, which marked the first SEC-registered blockchain-based equity issuance.

CoinMarketCap reports that Ethereum (ETH) is currently valued at $4,310.91 with a market cap of $520.35 billion and 13.44% dominance. Trading volume has notably increased by 24.85%. Over a 90-day period, ETH has shown a 56.33% price increase.

Insights from the Coincu research team suggest greater regulatory engagement will likely catalyze institutional backing within blockchain markets. Historical trends suggest potential growth in blockchain adoption if Nasdaq’s application garners approval.
