Nasdaq Gains SEC Approval for Tokenized Trading

/in /tarafından

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has approved Nasdaq’s proposal to enable trading and settlement of certain securities in tokenized form, marking a significant step toward integrating blockchain technology into traditional equity markets.

The initiative will allow investors to trade selected stocks either as conventional shares or as digital tokens settled via blockchain infrastructure. Initially, eligible securities will include stocks from the Russell 1000 Index and major exchange-traded funds tracking benchmarks like the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100.

The move reflects growing interest among exchanges in tokenization, as regulatory conditions for digital assets continue to evolve. Nasdaq’s approach aims to combine the efficiency of blockchain settlement with the structure of regulated financial markets.

Vietnam Moves Toward Crypto Licensing

/in /tarafından

Vietnamese companies are competing to obtain the country’s first licenses to operate domestic cryptocurrency exchanges as authorities prepare tighter oversight of digital asset trading.

The government plans to launch a pilot program that would allow locally regulated crypto platforms to operate, while restricting the use of overseas exchanges by Vietnamese traders.

Several financial institutions and investment firms have already entered the qualification process, reflecting strong industry interest in the emerging regulatory framework.

Vietnam has become one of the most active cryptocurrency markets globally, with transaction volumes reaching significant levels in recent years.

Officials aim to keep trading activity within the country’s financial system while improving supervision and managing capital flows.

The initiative could also help develop Vietnam’s digital finance sector, though policymakers note that further regulatory work is still required.
