The New York Stock Exchange is partnering with Securitise to develop tokenised securities infrastructure, marking a major step in Wall Street’s shift toward blockchain-based trading.
The collaboration will focus on creating standards for tokenised versions of stocks, bonds, and exchange-traded funds, with Securitise also acting as the first digital transfer agent for the NYSE’s planned Digital Trading Platform.
“We are proud to support NYSE in helping design the foundational transfer agent infrastructure,”
Said Securitise CEO Carlos Domingo, adding the goal is to build tokenisation within existing market structures.
The platform is designed to enable round-the-clock trading of tokenised assets, potentially transforming how securities are issued, traded, and settled compared with traditional market hours.
The move comes as traditional finance accelerates blockchain adoption, with regulatory efforts such as Project Crypto and Nasdaq’s own tokenisation pilot highlighting growing institutional momentum.
Securitise has been a key player in tokenisation, including supporting BlackRock’s $2 billion tokenised money-market fund, and continues to advocate for “native” on-chain securities with embedded investor rights.
The partnership underscores increasing convergence between traditional financial infrastructure and blockchain technology as institutions explore more efficient, programmable capital markets.
