NYSE is adding Blockchain.com as a prospective gateway to its planned round-the-clock market for tokenized US stocks.<\/p>\n

Blockchain.com and NYSE Group signed a memorandum of understanding that could give the crypto platform\u2019s users access to US-listed shares and exchange-traded funds on NYSE\u2019s planned digital trading venue, subject to regulatory approval, the companies said Sept. 23. The agreement also establishes a two-way market-data relationship spanning stocks and crypto.<\/p>\n

The deal gives NYSE another potential distribution channel into a crypto-native customer base before its tokenized securities market opens. Blockchain.com says it has more than 44 million confirmed accounts and already distributes tokenized US equities through a separate partnership with Ondo Finance.<\/p>\n

NYSE unveiled its digital platform in January with plans for 24-hour trading of tokenized US shares and ETFs, fractional orders, immediate on-chain settlement and stablecoin-based funding. The venue would support tokenized versions of traditionally issued securities alongside assets issued directly in digital form, while preserving shareholder rights such as dividends and voting.<\/p>\n

The push comes as Wall Street firms position for a potentially much larger market in blockchain-represented assets. Citi Institute estimates tokenized financial assets could reach $5.5 trillion by 2030 in its base case, from about $17 billion currently, with public equities and Treasuries expected to drive much of the expansion. Its bull case reaches $8.2 trillion.<\/p>\n

Citi estimates that if 10% of US retail investors adopt on-chain products by the end of the decade, demand for tokenized public equities alone could reach about $2.6 trillion. Around-the-clock access, fractional ownership, and faster settlement are among the features expected to draw digitally native investors toward the market.<\/p>\n

For NYSE, capturing that demand requires more than building the exchange infrastructure. It also requires reaching investors already accustomed to moving assets on blockchain rails.<\/p>\n
