🚨 Nasdaq’s SEC Filing – Tokenized Securities
🔺Nasdaq filed with the SEC to allow tokenized versions of listed stocks and ETFs.
🔺Tokenized shares would have the same rights as traditional shares (voting, dividends, liquidation).
🔺Trades would occur on the same order book as traditional stocks, under identical rules.
🔺Settlement infrastructure being built by DTC; launch expected Q3 2026 if approved.
🔺Nasdaq also preparing for 24/5 trading by late 2026.
This would make Nasdaq the first major U.S. exchange to list tokenized securities.
🔺Regulators in Europe have warned about investor confusion around tokenized assets.
✅ Implications
Faster settlement and reduced intermediaries via blockchain.
Fractional ownership and wider accessibility for global investors.
Regulatory challenges and investor education remain key hurdles.
Could be a watershed moment for U.S. capital markets if approved.
