The top U.S. tech stock exchange is preparing to start offering tokenized assets to its traders.

  • Nasdaq has applied to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to enable trading of tokenized securities

  • These tokenized assets will retain all rights and protections for investors

  • The total value of tokenized assets will double by 2025

Asset tokenization has received the largest recognition so far. On Monday, September 8, the Nasdaq Stock Exchange announced it submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission seeking approval for tokenized securities trading.

According to Tal Cohen, president of Nasdaq, this move aims to leverage the speed and efficiency of blockchain while directly embedding it into the U.S. stock infrastructure. Additionally, these tokenized assets will retain all rights and protections for investors, including dividends.

Cohen stated that tokenized assets can shorten settlement times and modernize proxy voting, among other benefits. He also emphasized that Nasdaq will always prioritize investor protection and market stability while seeking new ways to leverage the technology.

Tokenized assets are becoming increasingly mainstream

Asset tokenization is becoming one of the strongest trends in the crypto market and is now entering the mainstream. As of August, the total value of tokenized assets has doubled year-over-year, increasing from $12.4 billion to $26.3 billion.

An increasing number of traditional companies are beginning to join this market. For example, on September 8th, investment giant Fidelity launched a $200 million tokenized treasury fund on Ethereum (FDIT).

Government bonds and private credit dominate asset tokenization. However, the popularity of tokenized stocks is also on the rise.
