Nasdaq asks SEC for rule change to trade tokenized stocks
Nasdaq has filed for a rule change with the SEC that would allow regulated exchanges in the US to trade tokenized stocks.
Nasdaq, the world’s second-largest stock exchange by market capitalization, is seeking regulatory approval from the US securities regulator to list tokenized stocks.
Nasdaq filed a request Monday with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) asking for a rule change that would allow the company to list tokenized stocks.
The exchange operator specifically asked to amend certain rules, including the definition of a security, to trade tokenized stocks under the same execution and documentation rules as traditional securities, provided the tokenized versions are deemed equivalent.
