- NYSE Reportedly Developing 24/7 Platform for Tokenized Stocks and ETFs
- Instant settlement will eliminate the usual one-day delay in conventional markets.
- Investors can effectively manage cash flow outside of traditional banking hours
The New York Stock Exchange is reportedly developing a new platform to allow 24/7 trading of tokenized stocks and ETFs.
Bloomberg reports that the new platform will provide instant settlement, eliminating the typical one-day delay seen in conventional markets.
The platform is designed to operate continuously, which could allow investors to manage cash flow outside of traditional banking hours.
Blockchain integration and platform design.
Intercontinental Exchange, the parent company of the NYSE, is said to be collaborating with Citigroup and Bank of New York Mellon to implement support for tokenized deposits.
According to Intercontinental Exchange Inc’s Michael Blaugrund, the platform reflects a shift in market technology “from the trading floor to the electronic order book to the blockchain.”
The system reportedly integrates the NYSE’s Pillar matching engine with a blockchain-based network, linking tokenized stocks directly to conventional stock equivalents.
Owners of these digital assets will retain rights to dividends and corporate governance, while US dollar-backed stablecoins serve as a settlement mechanism.
The architecture also allows for connections to multiple networks, suggesting interoperability between tokenized financial products and traditional infrastructure.
The NYSE’s move follows similar efforts by Nasdaq, which recently asked the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to trade tokenized versions of stocks.
The London Stock Exchange Group also launched a digital private fund management platform, while JPMorgan Chase unveiled an Ethereum-based tokenized money market fund in December 2025.
These developments highlight the growing interest in blockchain and digital assets within mainstream finance.
Enthusiasts have long criticized the limited trading hours of existing markets, arguing that digital technology makes time constraints unnecessary.
Despite the promise of round-the-clock operations, several obstacles remain. Regulatory approval is still pending and the integration of tokenized shares with existing clearing and custody systems is complex.
Data center infrastructure must also support continuous operation, and blockchain-based settlement will need to handle high transaction volumes reliably.
The need for stablecoin-backed settlement introduces exposure to digital asset volatility.
Linking tokenized financial products to physical assets such as Nvidia AI GPUs or other computing resources may raise additional operational and legal questions.
While the platform could modernize trading and expand investor flexibility, the actual impact depends on regulatory oversight and widespread adoption.
