SEC Approves Nasdaq Trading of Tokenized Securities
- The SEC approved on Wednesday 18 March 2026 a Nasdaq proposal allowing trading of tokenized versions of certain equity securities and ETPs on the exchange during the related DTC tokenization pilot program[1][3]
- Eligible securities include Russell 1000 stocks and ETFs tracking major benchmarks such as the S&P 500[2][3]
- Tokenized shares carry the same ticker, CUSIP and shareholder rights, trade on the same order book with the same execution priority, and a buyer sets a tokenization flag naming the blockchain and wallet address[2][3]
- The trade still clears and settles conventionally on a T+1 basis through NSCC/DTC with tokenization as a post-trade step; DTCC plans to explore digital cash settlement in 2027[2]
- Earlier in March 2026 Nasdaq had partnered with Payward, Kraken's parent, on tokenized stock trading, and the approval follows a December 2025 SEC no-action letter allowing DTC to tokenize stocks[2][3]

Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most. A picture that shows something else, or shows it badly, is looked at too, and moved down or replaced.
