Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) said in a Jan. 19, 2026 press release that the New York Stock Exchange is developing an NYSE tokenized securities platform to enable 24/7 trading, instant on-chain settlement, dollar-sized orders, and stablecoin-based funding. The company will seek regulatory approval for the platform.
24/7 Trading and Settlement Features
The platform is designed to list and trade tokenized versions of U.S. equities, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), tokenized shares, and digital-only securities. It will operate around the clock and support instant settlement on distributed ledgers, allowing ownership transfers without waiting for traditional clearing cycles.
Key features include accepting orders sized in dollar amounts, offering fractional shares, and permitting stablecoin funding. These elements aim to lower trading minimums and enable continuous execution and settlement for U.S.-listed securities beyond standard market hours.
Regulatory Approval and Clearing Modernization
ICE said it will seek regulatory approval to establish a venue that permits trading and instant settlement of tokenized shares and digital-only securities. The initiative is part of a broader effort to modernize clearing systems to handle tokenized collateral and money transfers outside normal banking hours.
The company is working with banks, including BNY Mellon and Citigroup, to explore tokenized deposits and back-office arrangements that support transfers and liquidity flows when banks are closed. ICE framed the project as enhancing trading infrastructure and experiences for tokenized securities.
"NYSE's new digital platform will enable tokenized trading experiences, including 24/7 operations, instant settlement, orders sized in dollar amounts, and stablecoin-based funding," the company said in the press release.
