NYSE Plans to Launch 24/7 Tokenized Stock Trading, Leaving 'Competitors' Stunned

Resumen

NYSE plans to launch a 24/7 tokenized securities trading and on-chain settlement platform, a move seen as a direct response to Nasdaq’s earlier application for tokenized stock trading. The proposed platform would support round-the-clock trading of U.S. stocks and ETFs, fractional shares, stablecoin-based settlements, and instant settlement, while integrating NYSE’s existing matching engine with blockchain technology. Tokenized stocks would retain traditional rights like dividends and governance. The initiative is viewed as both an opportunity and a threat. Proponents argue it validates crypto’s core innovations—24/7 trading, instant settlement, and global access—and represents a major step toward merging traditional and crypto assets. Critics, however, warn it may disadvantage retail investors, increase market complexity, and primarily benefit exchanges through higher fees. While NYSE’s proposal is more comprehensive than Nasdaq’s, regulatory approval from the SEC is not expected before late 2026. This leaves a window for crypto-native platforms to leverage advantages like permissionless access, global liquidity, and leveraged products. The key battleground will be where liquidity, attention, and users converge.

"Flash Crash Monday" is not over yet. Just now, the crypto market was hit by another bombshell—according to multiple media sources, the NYSE plans to launch a tokenized securities trading and on-chain platform supporting 24/7 trading. After investing $2 billion in Polymarket last year, the ICE Group is once again joining the wave of cryptocurrency transformation, this time using its stock exchange as the vehicle. It is worth mentioning that as early as last September, its "rival" Nasdaq had already submitted an application to the SEC for tokenized stock trading. This move by the NYSE is also interpreted by the outside world as a response to competition among stock exchanges.

Odaily Planet Daily will briefly summarize the market views related to this event and explore its potential impact.

NYSE Can't Sit Still: A More Radical "On-Chain Tokenized Stock Solution" Than Nasdaq

After Trump took office, the U.S. cryptocurrency regulatory environment changed dramatically. As a result, crypto IPOs, stablecoins, PayFi, and DeFi have swept away the policy gloom of the Biden era and developed rapidly. According to statistics, last year's stablecoin trading volume reached $33 trillion, a sharp increase of 72% year-on-year. Behind this is the substantial revenue and profits earned by stablecoin issuers Tether and Circle, as well as the massive liquidity that can be directed to the stock securities market.

Moreover, unlike Nasdaq's application to the SEC for tokenized stock trading last September, nearly six months later, the NYSE's moves related to "tokenized stock trading" are not just an application to regulators but a complete set of "on-chain solutions." Recommended reading: "The Self-Revolution of U.S. Stock Exchanges: Nasdaq Applies for Tokenized Stock Trading, Targeting a Trillion-Dollar Market."

Specifically, the NYSE's "on-chain tokenized stock solution" includes the following three aspects:

  1. This is a tokenized securities trading and on-chain settlement platform that plans to support 24/7 trading of U.S. stocks and ETF funds, fractional share trading, stablecoin-based fund settlement, and instant delivery, and will combine NYSE's existing matching engine with a blockchain settlement system.
  2. According to the NYSE's plan, tokenized stocks will have the same dividends and governance rights as traditional securities.
  3. NYSE's parent company, ICE, is also collaborating with banking giants such as BNY Mellon and Citigroup to explore tokenized deposits and clearing infrastructure to support cross-time zone, round-the-clock fund and margin management.

In comparison, if Nasdaq's tokenized stock application seems like a "new bottle for old wine" move in response to policy, then the NYSE's plan seems more like a "new retail trading platform" that integrates all links from "brewing-packaging-distribution-recycling."

Most importantly, the NYSE's "tokenized stock" trading platform supports 24/7 trading, which was originally one of the advantages of various cryptocurrencies over securities stocks. Now, this advantage becomes a joke in the face of the massive asset targets and liquidity of the world's largest stock exchange, the NYSE.

As a result, there are some pessimistic views in the crypto market: "The RWA sector of the cryptocurrency market and its increasingly tight liquidity will face the strictest 'father.' Compared to the NYSE, which has an annual trading volume of over a hundred trillion dollars, crypto RWA projects can almost be said to be non-existent."

What Do Industry Practitioners Think: Mixed Impacts, the Past Is the Past, the Present Is Now

In 1792, 24 securities brokers signed the Buttonwood Agreement under a buttonwood tree outside 68 Wall Street in New York, marking the birth of the predecessor of the NYSE. At that time, due to limited investment targets and market activity, stock trading hours were relatively flexible, with no strict continuous trading sessions. Brokers mainly conducted transactions through auctions or informal methods.

On March 8, 1817, the organization drafted a charter and officially changed its name to the New York Stock and Exchange Board.

In May 1887, the NYSE standardized stock trading hours to "Monday to Friday: 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.; Saturday: 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m."

In 1952, Saturday trading was officially canceled.

In 1985, stock trading opening time was advanced to 9:30 a.m., and closing was extended to 4:00 p.m., forming the current 9:30–16:00 session, which has lasted for about 41 years.

If the NYSE's application for 24/7 tokenized stock trading is approved, it means that this decades- or even centuries-old "limited-time trading model" will become history. From this perspective, the crypto market has gained high recognition from the financial mainstream.

Pro View: The Era's Express Train Is Approaching

BTC OG and BankToTheFuture founder Simon Dixon posted, "Nothing can stop this (era's) train. Tokens are IOUs for actual assets held by custodians, supplementing DTCC claims. All-day trading can be achieved without tokens. This is an upgraded version of the surveillance state. You will own nothing and be happy." The accompanying picture shows BlackRock CEO Larry Fink and Coinbase CEO Brain Armstrong embracing.

Indian crypto KOL Open4profit posted, "(This will) allow the market to react immediately to global news; AI and algorithms will play a greater role in pricing and risk management; this is a major change for the stock market, so keep a close eye on liquidity changes."

Redstone DeFi co-founder Marcin saw a "startup opportunity," saying, "This is a good start and fits exactly with what we are going to do next."

Wintermute OTC head Jake O also highly affirmed this: "Traditional infrastructure can extend trading hours but cannot solve T+1/2 friction or eliminate rent-seeking that increases costs and delays. Ironically, crypto solved this years ago: 24/7 trading, instant settlement, global access, no gatekeepers or (traditional bank) 'data fees.' Convergence is inevitable: equity trading on-chain, atomic settlement, the line between 'crypto' assets and 'traditional' assets will completely disappear. Welcome to the 21st century..."

Of course, some see it as an opportunity, while others see it as a threat.

Con View: Exchanges Reap the Benefits, the Suffering Falls on the New Generation of Young People

Unlike the industry view that the NYSE's move will stimulate the crypto market and promote cryptocurrency popularization, some industry insiders also see potential problems.

L1D partner LouisT posted: "The entire global financial system is moving on-chain, but somehow, they don't seem to be bidding for our 'bear-drug-like' tokens." In other words, traditional financial markets are not buying into the so-called RWA assets of cryptocurrencies.

MoonRock Capital founder expressed concern about the living conditions of the younger generation: "This is not good news for the baby boomers; your lives have become more difficult." This likely means that compared to previous generations with more increments, the baby boomer generation faces a more complex investment environment and a round-the-clock "liquidity gaming stage."

BingX advisor Nebraskangooner also raised his doubts: "Why make the stock market trade 24 hours a day? No one wants this except the exchanges. The only benefit is that without the interference of after-hours trading, stop-loss and take-profit points can truly function. I wonder what impact this will have on stock price movements after earnings reports?" This view focuses more on information impact and exchange profits.

Summary: There Is Still a Gap Between Traditional Finance and Crypto-Native Groups, and the Window of Opportunity for Users and Entrepreneurs Remains

Finally, I would like to briefly share my personal views based on the above information:

First, based on existing information, the NYSE's relevant application may be approved as early as the end of 2026, and the main approval authority is still the U.S. SEC. For crypto platforms, this is an important time gap.

Second, the main service targets of the NYSE's tokenized stock trading and on-chain settlement platform are likely still conventional investment institutions and compliant investors. For crypto-native groups and even global investors, what they need is not only the satisfaction of functional needs but also the realization of "KYC-free registration trading, global asset liquidity allocation, and riskier high-leverage" through tokenized stock and RWA platforms. This may be the advantage of crypto RWA projects.

Finally, the core purpose of the NYSE, Nasdaq, and others in promoting stock tokenization is still trading volume and fees. Like CEXs constantly listing new token projects, in the short term, they may still need to learn from CEXs, DEXs, and even on-chain Perp DEXs. This is also the basis for existing mature platforms to counterattack. By then, it is not impossible for U.S. stock exchanges like the NYSE and Nasdaq to fall from their pedestals. The key still lies in where the liquidity is, where the attention is, and where the user base is.

Strategy's Loss in the Second Quarter Reaches $8.22 Billion Amid Bitcoin Decline

Strategy, the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, reported a net loss of $8.22 billion for the second quarter. This loss was primarily driven by an $8.32 billion unrealized loss on its Bitcoin holdings due to a decline in the asset's price during the period. Despite these paper losses, the company increased its Bitcoin holdings to 843,775 BTC, a 25% growth since the start of the year. As part of a new monetization strategy, Strategy sold approximately $218.4 million worth of Bitcoin, mainly to fund dividends for preferred shareholders, with $216 million of that sold after Q2 ended. The company also built a $3.75 billion cash reserve, which it claims is sufficient to cover over two years of dividend and interest payments, aiming to insulate itself from Bitcoin's volatility while meeting obligations. Following the earnings release, Strategy's stock (MSTR) rose 4.7% in regular trading but corrected slightly after-hours. This pattern reflects how the company's accounting results are heavily tied to Bitcoin's price swings, even as its long-term strategy remains unchanged. The report indicates that Strategy is maintaining its core strategy of accumulating Bitcoin while building a financial buffer. This quarterly loss follows a recognizable pattern, with the company posting significant unrealized losses in previous quarters (e.g., $12.4 billion in Q4 2025 and ~$12.5 billion in Q1 2026) due to fair-value accounting. A key technical shift is its new monetization program, which introduces periodic selling pressure on the market, transitioning Strategy from a pure accumulator to a participant that occasionally adds supply. A critical question remains: how long can the cash reserve cover dividend obligations if a Bitcoin price downturn persists beyond two years?

Will Terrorist Durov Ban Russian Officials?

Telegram founder Pavel Durov publicly reacted to being labeled a "terrorist" by Russian authorities, stating the designation came after he refused demands for mass surveillance and censorship on the platform. In a Telegram post, he highlighted that this status formally bans him from "publishing information online." Durov concluded with a statement widely circulated: Russian officials "clearly don't understand who can ban whom on the internet." This remark suggests Durov could potentially restrict official Russian government and officials' channels on Telegram, which continue to operate on the platform despite its formal blocking in Russia. The situation parallels previous, slow-moving state directives, like switching officials to domestic cars, contrasted with the current push to migrate all government communication to the Russian-made messenger MAX by 2030. However, reports indicate many officials still use Telegram via workarounds, fearing surveillance on MAX, while alternatives like BiP and KakaoTalk recently became inaccessible in Russia without a VPN. Durov has not specified any immediate actions against state channels. His statement is an initial response, with further developments depending on the authorities' reaction. The dynamic differs from 2020 when Russian regulators lifted a block on Telegram; now, Durov implies control from within the platform itself over the official accounts that persisted through that earlier blockade.

DeepSeek V4 Official Version Arrives, New Capabilities Emerge, Value-for-Money King Enters the Fray

On July 31st, DeepSeek officially launched the public API beta for its DeepSeek-V4-Flash model. A key highlight is its performance on multiple Agent benchmark tests, reportedly nearing or even surpassing the level of the V4-Pro preview version from three months ago. Notably, the Flash model achieves this with significantly smaller scale (130B active parameters vs. Pro's 490B), suggesting that post-training optimization and data quality may be as crucial as raw model size. DeepSeek emphasized that the V4-Flash-0731 uses the same model architecture and size as its preview version, with improvements attributed solely to "re-trained post-training." The update also marks the official debut of DeepSeek's self-developed Agent framework, "Harness." The move signals DeepSeek's strategic push to position its cost-effective Flash model as a competitive base for Agent applications—scenarios requiring autonomous planning, tool usage, and complex task execution—where inference speed and cost are critical. By natively supporting OpenAI's Responses API format and adapting for code-generation scenarios, DeepSeek aims not just to be a cheaper alternative but to establish its own ecosystem in the Agent era. This release follows DeepSeek's record-breaking ~$50 billion fundraising round roughly two months prior, underscoring market confidence in its technology and commercialization prospects. The company is reportedly preparing for another funding round at a valuation of approximately $71 billion. The Flash model's advancement represents a step in fulfilling the high expectations that come with this valuation, setting the stage for the impending release of the V4-Pro official version and intensifying competition in the global Agent landscape.
