  • Nasdaq Partners with Talos to Integrate Crypto into Traditional Market Infrastructure
    March 23, 2026, 10:25 AM EDT. Nasdaq Inc. is partnering with crypto technology firm Talos to integrate digital asset trading and risk management into its Calypso platform, used widely by banks and brokers for managing stocks and bonds. This move aims to bridge the gap between traditional financial markets, which operate weekdays only, and crypto markets that trade 24/7, signaling growing convergence. The collaboration offers Talos clients, including hedge funds and retail brokers, access to unified tools for trading, risk oversight, collateral, and compliance. Nasdaq's strategy aligns with broader Wall Street trends, as competitors like the New York Stock Exchange develop blockchain-based venues for round-the-clock trading of tokenized securities. Tokenization-creating digital counterparts of real-world assets-is viewed as a way to boost liquidity and efficiency, though widespread adoption remains limited.
