Nasdaq Seeks Nod From U.S. SEC to Tokenize Stocks

Wall Street's sleeping giant just woke up—and it's speaking blockchain.

Nasdaq officially filed with the SEC to tokenize equities, pushing traditional stocks into the digital asset era. This isn't just a regulatory formality; it's a tectonic shift in how we'll trade, own, and leverage shares.

Why This Matters

Tokenization slashes settlement times from days to seconds. It bypasses legacy intermediaries—think fewer brokers, fewer delays, fewer excuses. Liquidity gets a turbo-boost as stocks become programmable, divisible, and tradeable 24/7.

But let's be real—the SEC won't rubber-stamp this overnight. Regulatory scrutiny will be fierce, and traditional finance skeptics are already sharpening their knives. Still, if approved, this could democratize access to capital markets in ways we’ve only seen in crypto… until now.

One cynical take? It took traditional finance this long to realize that maybe, just maybe, blockchain isn’t just for anarchists and meme coin degenerates.

Watch this space. The lines between crypto and conventional investing are blurring—fast.
