NYSE Seeks Approval for Tokenized Securities Trading

The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) has submitted a proposed rule change to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to allow tokenized versions of eligible equities and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to be traded under the Depository Trust Company's (DTC) three-year tokenization pilot program. According to NS3.AI, these tokenized securities will maintain the same CUSIP, ticker, rights, and privileges as their traditional counterparts. The clearing and settlement process will continue to operate through DTC on a T+1 basis.
