One of the world’s largest exchanges, Nasdaq, is working with U.S. regulators to launch trading of tokenized securities. If approved, this step would mark the first instance of tokenized securities being traded on a U.S. exchange.
First Step Toward Tokenized Securities
Nasdaq’s proposal, submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), would allow stocks and exchange-traded products listed on the exchange to trade in either a “traditional digital or tokenized format.” This move comes shortly after the SEC’s recent rule change discussions regarding crypto trading on national exchanges and alternative trading systems.
The Tokenization Vision
Nasdaq emphasizes that tokenized securities must provide investors with the same material rights as traditional instruments. Under these conditions, tokenized securities and traditional assets could trade in the same order book and under the same rules.
The company argues that tokenization could enhance liquidity in the financial system, while some experts warn that regulatory gaps could introduce new risks.
A Historic Step for Markets
If approved, U.S. investors could see the first tokenized securities trades by the end of Q3 2026. This development is seen as a significant milestone in integrating blockchain-based financial products into traditional markets.
