The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is actively developing a next-generation technology platform. The main goal of this project is to provide a platform for trading traditional financial assets, which will be presented in the form of tokens. NYSE plans to make stock and ETF trading available 24/7. It will be possible to buy both full shares and their fractional parts on the platform.

The architecture and legal structure of the platform are currently being coordinated with US regulators, including the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). In addition to round-the-clock access, the system will allow investors to purchase fractional shares, which will significantly reduce the barrier to entry into the market. Transactions will be settled almost instantly, and stablecoins can be used to replenish accounts.

It is important that the owners of tokenized assets fully retain their economic and corporate rights. Investors are guaranteed to receive dividends and will be able to participate in corporate governance. To ensure liquidity and smooth payments beyond standard banking hours, NYSE collaborates with Bank of New York Mellon and Citibank. They are working together to create an infrastructure for tokenized bank deposits.

The development of this area became possible due to changes in regulation. After the SEC adjusted the rules for listing cryptocurrency funds, the NYSE successfully launched trading of spot ETFs on assets like Chainlink (LINK), Dogecoin (DOGE) and XRP.

This project aims to legitimize and institutionalize tokenization within a regulated field, which can lead to the integration of classical finance and the digital economy. The implementation of the initiative may be the key to changing the standards of exchange trading worldwide, making it more accessible, efficient and independent of time zones.
