Nasdaq has received regulatory approval from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for a framework that enables moving equity trading onto blockchain technology. This development marks a significant milestone in the adoption of crypto-native technology within traditional Wall Street markets. The approved structure is designed to leverage the efficiency of blockchain while maintaining the role of traditional intermediaries and existing market frameworks. This move aligns with a broader industry trend toward the tokenization of Real World Assets (RWA) to modernize financial infrastructure. By integrating on-chain capabilities, Nasdaq aims to enhance market transparency and operational efficiency without disrupting the current regulatory landscape. Analysts view this as a major validation of blockchain technology at the highest levels of global equity markets.
