NYSE Launches 24/7 Tokenized Stock Trading: Which Crypto Businesses Will Directly Benefit or Suffer?
The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) has announced plans to launch a tokenized securities trading and on-chain settlement platform supporting 24/7 trading of U.S. stocks and ETFs, fractional shares, stablecoin-based settlements, and instant settlement. This move is expected to have significant implications for the crypto industry.
Potential beneficiaries include compliant U.S. stablecoins like USDC, which could be chosen for settlements, boosting their adoption. Leveraged stock-to-crypto trading platforms (e.g., Hyperliquid) may benefit from improved hedging opportunities due to aligned 24/7 trading hours. Perpetual swap and basis trading protocols (e.g., Ethena) could gain new, high-quality assets for arbitrage strategies. Selected infrastructure providers, such as blockchains and oracles, may also see growth, though traditional finance connections will be crucial.
Conversely, existing crypto-native stock tokenization platforms face direct competition from the NYSE's superior regulatory backing and promise of equal dividends and governance rights. Spot stock-to-crypto trading platforms are particularly vulnerable and may need to pivot to offshore markets or derivatives to survive.
Overall, while the NYSE's entry threatens some crypto-native businesses, it highlights the growing value of crypto's unique strengths: stablecoin infrastructure, leveraged trading, and on-chain financial engineering. Competition will intensify, but new opportunities will emerge.
