  • NYSE Advances Proposal for Tokenized Stock Trading Pilot
    May 3, 2026, 3:02 PM EDT. The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) has filed a proposal with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to pilot tokenized stock trading on its regulated market. Tokenized stocks are digital assets based on blockchain that represent traditional shares, providing holders with equal rights, including dividends and voting. The pilot would last three years and keep tokenized stocks trading on the same order book as regular securities, preserving existing execution priorities. This move aims to enable 24/7 trading, instant settlement, and fractional share ownership without creating a separate crypto exchange. NYSE's parent company, Intercontinental Exchange Inc, currently trades at $154.75.
