(Jan 19): The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is building a venue using blockchain technology to allow for trading tokenised stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) around the clock. The company is looking to launch the new digital trading platform later this year, pending regulatory approval. Round-the-clock accessNYSE’s main competitor in the US, Nasdaq, asked regulators in September to let investors trade tokenised versions of stocks on its public exchange. NSYE already outlined its path to extend trading hours on its Arca equities venue, with plans to offer trading 22 hours on weekdays. NYSE’s new digital venue could be another push towards non-stop trading, and help bridge the gap between traditional markets and digital finance.
