The company plans to use its existing technology combined with private blockchain networks to facilitate the trading of tokenized securities in real-time, pending regulatory approval. The new digital trading platform aims to provide new types of investor accessibility and create new opportunities for retail to participate in the stablecoin-funded markets.
“This reflects an evolution of NYSE’s trading capabilities which went from trading floor, to electronic order-book, to blockchain,” Michael Blaugrund, vice president of strategic initiatives at ICE, said in an interview. “It allows for new types of investor accessibility, and will create new opportunities for retail to participate in the stablecoin-funded markets that have attracted their attention.”
