Why Tokenized Stocks Are Central to Market Modernization
-

Tokenized stocks are traditional shares issued on a blockchain ledger, offering benefits such as fractional ownership and round-the-clock trading. The NYSE’s initiative reflects growing demand from global investors who want access to US equities beyond standard market hours, a trend that has already pushed the exchange to pursue extended weekday trading.
The move comes as competitors make similar plans. The Nasdaq has also announced intentions to support 24-hour weekday trading, while the NYSE has signaled it will seek approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission to expand its operating hours. Together, these efforts point to a structural shift in how equity markets operate.
