NYSE × Blockchain.com Explore Tokenized Stocks: 24/7 ATS MOU
Summary
NYSE Group and Blockchain.com signed a Sept 23, 2026 MOU to explore distributing tokenized U.S.-listed stocks and ETFs to Blockchain.com’s global users on NYSE’s planned digital ATS — subject to regulatory approvals, with no launch date or country list yet.
In this OnlyFintechs episode we unpack the distribution bet (crypto-native reach into exchange-grade tokenization), the bidirectional ICE/NYSE ↔ Blockchain.com market-data deal for 44M+ accounts, how this sits vs Blockchain.com’s existing Ondo Europe stock tokens, and why the SEC’s Sept 17 Innovation Exemption (S2E2) is the regulatory backdrop — not a green light to trade today.
What you’ll learn:
- MOU vs live product
- NYSE’s Jan 2026 tokenized platform design (24/7, fractional, fungible rights)
- Investor-protection flags when tokens aren’t real shares
- What still needs approvals
