The New York Stock Exchange, part of Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. (NYSE: ICE), announced its development of a platform for trading and on-chain settlement of tokenized securities, for which it will seek regulatory approvals.
VP of Strategic Initiatives, ICE
"Since its founding, ICE has propelled markets from analog to digital. Supporting tokenized securities is a pivotal step in ICE's strategy to operate on-chain market infrastructure for trading, settlement, custody, and capital formation in the new era of global finance."
President, NYSE Group
"For more than two centuries, the NYSE has transformed the way markets operate. We are leading the industry toward fully on-chain solutions, grounded in the unmatched protections and high regulatory standards that position us to marry trust with state-of-the-art technology."
NYSE's new digital platform combines cutting-edge technology with blockchain infrastructure:
Industry-leading order matching technology that powers NYSE's current trading operations
On-chain settlement, custody, and clearing with multi-chain support
Trade tokenized shares fungible with traditionally issued securities
Support for tokens natively issued as digital securities
The tokenized securities platform is one component of ICE's comprehensive digital transformation:
NYSE platform for trading tokenized shares fungible with traditional securities
Preparing clearing systems to support round-the-clock trading
Integration of tokenized collateral across ICE clearinghouses
Working with BNY and Citi for tokenized bank deposits
ICE is working with leading financial institutions to support tokenized deposits across its clearinghouses:
These partnerships will help clearing members transfer and manage money outside traditional banking hours, meet margin obligations, and accommodate funding requirements across different jurisdictions and time zones.
The platform is currently in development and will require regulatory approvals before launch. No specific launch date has been announced yet.
A tokenized security is a traditional financial asset (like stocks) represented as a digital token on a blockchain. It combines the benefits of blockchain technology with regulated securities.
Yes, the NYSE platform is designed to enable 24/7 trading operations, similar to cryptocurrency markets.
The platform will support funding your trading account with stablecoins (cryptocurrencies pegged to fiat currencies like USD), enabling faster and more flexible fund transfers.
ICE is working with BNY (Bank of New York Mellon) and Citi to support tokenized deposits across its clearinghouses.
