#数字资产市场动态 Traditional finance is going on-chain—The New York Stock Exchange's new move sends a clear signal 💥

Recently, news has emerged that Intercontinental Exchange, the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange, is developing a 24/7 on-chain trading infrastructure. This is not an experimental edge case but a core business exploration driven by one of the world's largest financial hubs.

What exactly can it do? A few key points:

⏰ 24/7 uninterrupted trading—Tokenized Apple stocks, mainstream ETFs, and other traditional assets offer trading experiences as smooth as cryptocurrencies, bidding farewell to the opening and closing restrictions of the stock market.

💰 Fractional shares + instant settlement—Breaking the constraints of minimum trading units, stablecoins enable second-level clearing and settlement, completely bypassing the cumbersome T+2 cycle.

📊 Full rights correspondence—Holding tokenized stocks still grants you dividends and voting rights, no different from traditional shareholders, which is crucial.

🔐 Clear compliance path—Initially providing access through regulated qualified brokers, not a "laissez-faire" permissionless mode, but a controlled and orderly progression.

🤝 Ecosystem linkage—Intercontinental Exchange has brought in major financial institutions like BNY Mellon and Citibank to jointly explore tokenized deposits and fiat on-ramps.

What does this mean?

Traditional investors can finally experience near real-time clearing and settlement, along with more flexible trading windows, lowering entry barriers. Native crypto users won't need to leave their familiar wallets and on-chain environments to directly hold the most mainstream traditional assets. For the entire industry, this is the strongest signal that blockchain technology is entering mainstream financial core operations—not just an experimental fringe, but a genuine business reconstruction.

Of course, it is still in development and requires regulatory approval. But when players like the NYSE start seriously "on-chain," you know the structural changes in the entire financial market are quietly taking shape.
