The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved on Wednesday a significant rule change allowing one of the world\u2019s largest stock exchanges, Nasdaq, to support trading in tokenized securities, a move that could accelerate the integration of blockchain technology into the mainstream financial markets.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Nasdaq Rule Amendments Approved<\/h2>\n

Nasdaq’s modified regulations were approved <\/a>by the SEC following a seven-month assessment that began in September 2025 and included adjustments to ensure compliance with federal securities laws and investor protection requirements.<\/p>\n

For context, tokenized securities are blockchain\u2011based representations of traditional financial instruments\u2014stocks, bonds, or funds\u2014where ownership rights are recorded as digital tokens on a distributed ledger.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Proponents say tokenization can enable around\u2011the\u2011clock trading, speed up settlement, and permit fractional ownership, modernizing elements of market infrastructure that have long relied on legacy systems.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to the SEC’s filing, Nasdaq\u2019s approved pilot program will operate in coordination with the Depository Trust Company (DTC), providing a regulated pathway for market participants to trade these digital representations of securities.<\/p>\n

Cross\u2011Border Rails For Tokenized Securities<\/h2>\n

The SEC\u2019s approval clears the way for several industry initiatives already under development. Earlier this month, Payward \u2014 the parent company of crypto exchange Kraken \u2014 announced <\/a>a partnership with Nasdaq to build an equities transformation gateway.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That project pairs Nasdaq\u2019s regulated market infrastructure with Kraken\u2019s xStocks framework, with the stated goal of allowing tokenized equities to move seamlessly between permissioned institutional environments and permissionless decentralized finance (DeFi) networks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to Nasdaq, the collaboration will underpin a new Nasdaq equity token design intended to preserve issuer control, maintain compliance with existing regulatory frameworks, and protect the traditional rights attached to company shares.<\/p>\n

The stock exchange also disclosed earlier in the month a partnership with Boerse Stuttgart Group\u2019s tokenized settlement platform, Seturion, to link its European trading venues to settlement infrastructure tailored for tokenized securities.\u00a0<\/p>\n
