39 institutions, including Nasdaq, urge the EU to separate the DLT pilot regime from new legislation and accelerate its review to respond to competition from the U.S.
According to Bloomberg, 39 signatories—including Nasdaq, the Boerse Stuttgart Group, and fintech associations from multiple countries—have called on the European Commission and the European Parliament to expedite the review of the Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) Pilot Regime as a standalone piece of legislation and to separate it from the EU’s Market Integration and Supervision program. The signatories warned that if the overall negotiation process drags on, Europe risks falling behind the United States in DLT adoption. They urged the removal of asset-class restrictions, an increase in the aggregate transaction volume cap to €150 billion, and the elimination of license time limits. The letter also noted that the U.S. has already established a stablecoin regulatory framework through the GENIUS Act and is rapidly establishing leadership in tokenized assets. The European Commission is currently pushing for a swift resolution of the entire regulatory package, viewing it as a key component of its Capital Markets Union initiative. Financial Services Commissioner Maria Luisa Albuquerque has previously called repeatedly for all legislative proposals to be adopted simultaneously.

NYSE Submits Rule Amendment Proposal to Allow Tokenized Securities to Be Listed and Traded
According to filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) submitted a proposed rule change (File No. SR-NYSE-2026-17) to the SEC on April 9, 2026, seeking to introduce Rule 7.50 and amend related provisions to permit the trading of eligible securities in tokenized form on the exchange. The proposal builds upon the Depository Trust Company’s (DTC) three-year tokenization pilot program and follows the framework of Nasdaq’s similar rules, which have already received SEC approval. Under the proposal, tokenized securities must share the same CUSIP number, ticker symbol, and shareholder rights as their traditional counterparts to be traded on equal footing and at the same priority level within the same order book. Initially, the rule will apply only to constituents of the Russell 1000 Index and ETFs tracking major indices; the settlement cycle will remain T+1, and existing regulatory requirements will apply equally to tokenized securities.
