  • Nasdaq's Tokenization Plan Gains SEC Approval, Integrating Blockchain with Wall Street
    March 20, 2026, 1:40 PM EDT. The SEC's approval of Nasdaq's tokenized securities framework marks a significant move towards integrating blockchain technology into the U.S. equity market. This initiative allows certain stocks and ETFs to be issued and settled as blockchain-based tokens, which can be held in digital wallets with clearing handled by the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC). While this enables near-instant settlement and potential 24/7 trading, Nasdaq's approach maintains traditional financial system controls, keeping tokenized stocks within a permissioned environment that uses blockchain mainly as an alternative record. Experts highlight the benefits for global investors, although they caution that without broader onchain liquidity and non-custodial trading, efficiency gains will be more incremental than transformative.
