NYSE and Blockchain.com Plan Tokenized U.S. Stocks for 44 Million Accounts
The New York Stock Exchange and Blockchain.com have signed an agreement to explore giving Blockchain.com users access to tokenized U.S. stocks and exchange-traded funds through the NYSE’s planned digital trading venue, according to data shared by Coin Bureau on X.
The proposed arrangement would allow eligible users to trade tokenized NYSE-listed equities and ETFs around the clock, including through fractional ownership. The service remains subject to required regulatory approvals and has not yet launched.
NYSE Targets Blockchain.com’s Global Crypto User Base
Blockchain.com said the collaboration is intended to provide its customers with access to tokenized U.S. exchange-listed securities through the NYSE’s planned digital alternative trading system, or ATS.
The crypto platform has more than 44 million confirmed accounts. Under the agreement, those users would potentially gain access to stock and ETF products represented on blockchain infrastructure, expanding the connection between a traditional U.S. equities exchange and a large crypto-native customer base.
The companies also plan to establish a two-way market-data relationship. ICE Data Services, an affiliate of NYSE parent Intercontinental Exchange, intends to distribute Blockchain.com’s crypto market data and analytics to its subscribers. Blockchain.com, in turn, plans to incorporate certain ICE and NYSE market-data feeds into its application.
The agreement therefore extends beyond tokenized securities to the distribution of financial-market information across both platforms.
24/7 Trading Remains Subject to Regulatory Approval
The proposed NYSE digital venue is designed to support trading outside traditional stock-market hours. Blockchain.com said the collaboration is intended to explore 24/7/365 access to tokenized U.S. equities and ETFs for customers around the world.
However, the arrangement is currently an agreement to explore the service rather than a live trading offering. The planned digital ATS and any required regulatory approvals remain prerequisites before Blockchain.com customers can access the tokenized securities.
The development comes as U.S. regulators have been establishing a framework for blockchain-based securities. In remarks this week, CFTC Chairman Michael S. Selig said U.S. markets need to prepare for “mass tokenization” and for the expansion of onchain finance and 24/7 markets.
The timing places the NYSE-Blockchain.com agreement within a broader push toward integrating blockchain infrastructure with traditional financial markets. The immediate next step is whether the proposed digital venue receives the regulatory approvals needed to make tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs available through Blockchain.com.
