A major U.S. stock exchange is pushing hard to bring tokenized equities to its platform. According to their head of digital assets, the team is racing to secure regulatory clearance for on-chain trading of publicly listed company shares.

If approved, this would mark a watershed moment—letting investors buy and sell tokenized versions of traditional stocks directly through the exchange's infrastructure. The move signals how legacy financial institutions are increasingly betting on blockchain rails to reshape capital markets.

The regulatory green light remains the final hurdle, but insiders say momentum is building fast.
