Nasdaq Seeks SEC Approval to Trade Tokenized Securities
Nasdaq has taken a decisive step toward integrating blockchain technology into mainstream finance. The exchange filed with the SEC to enable trading of tokenized securities, a move that could reshape equity markets. These digital assets WOULD maintain all traditional investor protections while leveraging blockchain's efficiency.
"This integration presents an extraordinary opportunity for the global financial system," said Nasdaq CEO Tal Cohen. The initiative aims to modernize settlement times and proxy voting processes without compromising market stability. Tokenization's momentum is undeniable—the total value of tokenized assets has doubled in 2025 alone.
