NYSE advances on-chain settlement for tokenized securities

Aug 10, 2026

New York Stock Exchange President Lynn Martin said on Aug. 10 that the exchange is continuing to develop infrastructure for on-chain settlement of tokenized securities, months after outlining plans for a dedicated digital trading platform. 

NYSE tokenized securities plan moves beyond January announcement

NYSE parent Intercontinental Exchange first announced the platform on Jan. 19. The planned venue is designed to combine NYSE’s Pillar matching engine with blockchain based post trade infrastructure. ICE said it would support 24/7 trading, immediate settlement, fractional shares, dollar denominated orders and stablecoin funding.

DTC pilot gave NYSE a live production test

Martin said NYSE participated in DTC’s tokenization pilot in July. DTCC independently confirmed NYSE among more than 30 financial and digital asset companies involved in live production transactions completed on July 15. Participants also included BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Nasdaq, Circle, Ondo Finance, Citadel Securities and Vanguard.

SEC filing brings tokenized shares inside existing market rules

NYSE has also taken a separate regulatory step. An April SEC filing established rules allowing eligible securities to trade in tokenized form on NYSE during DTC’s pilot program. The filing became effective upon submission under the applicable SEC rule process.

What happens next for NYSE’s onchain platform

NYSE has also been building the infrastructure around the proposed venue. In March, it signed an agreement with Securitize, naming the company as the first digital transfer agent eligible to mint blockchain native securities for issuers on the upcoming platform. Securitize Markets is also expected to participate as a broker dealer, subject to applicable requirements.
