On Monday, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), that paragon of tradition, unveiled a new plan that’s about as groundbreaking as a spreadsheet in a spreadsheet factory. They’re launching a blockchain platform for 24/7 stock trading, because who needs sleep when you can trade in the middle of the night? 🧠
New Digital Trading Venue At NYSE
The platform will offer around-the-clock operations, instant settlements, and dollar-sized orders. Because nothing says “innovation” like being able to trade at 3 AM when you’re too anxious to sleep. 🕯️
By integrating the NYSE’s “advanced Pillar matching engine” with blockchain, they claim it’ll streamline the process. Because nothing says “streamlining” like a system that’s still more complicated than a Rubik’s Cube. 🧩
Once they get regulatory approval (because, of course), this will create a new venue for tokenized shares. These shares are like traditional ones, but with more emojis and fewer actual assets. 📉
Interestingly, tokenized shareholders will retain their rights-like dividends and voting power. Because nothing says “democracy” like a blockchain that’s just as opaque as a stockbroker’s promises. 🕵️♂️
The launch is part of ICE’s broader digital strategy, which includes “preparing its clearing infrastructure for continuous trading.” Because nothing says “prepared” like a system that’s still figuring out how to count to 10. 🤯
Competition Heats Up
ICE is teaming up with BNY Mellon and Citigroup to facilitate tokenized deposits. Because nothing says “collaboration” like banks finally agreeing on something. 🤝
Lynn Martin, the NYSE’s president, said, “For over 200 years, we’ve transformed markets. Now, we’re just transforming them into something that’s not as confusing as a spreadsheet.” 📊
Michael Blaugrund, ICE’s VP, added, “Since its founding, ICE has propelled markets from analog to digital. Now, we’re just making them digital… but with more jargon.” 📱
Meanwhile, Nasdaq and CME Group are busy creating a crypto index. Because nothing says “regulation” like a market that’s still figuring out what “regulated” means. 🧪
