Blockchain.com and New York Stock Exchange Sign MOU to Explore Global 24/7 Trading of Tokenized Securities

According to PR Newswire, Blockchain.com and NYSE Group have announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to provide global users with access to trade tokenized U.S.-listed stocks and ETFs via NYSE's previously announced digital ATS platform, pending regulatory approval. The collaboration encompasses bidirectional market data distribution: ICE Data Services, a subsidiary of NYSE, plans to distribute Blockchain.com's cryptocurrency market data and analytics to its subscriber clients; in turn, Blockchain.com will integrate ICE and NYSE exchange data sources to deliver real-time stock quotes to its over 44 million registered accounts. The Citi Institute forecasts that the base case for the tokenized assets market by the 2030s will reach $5.5 trillion. Tokenized stocks offer advantages such as fractional ownership, 24/7 trading, global investor access, and faster on-chain settlement.
