Overseas investors are trading tokenized versions of major U.S. stocks to access markets 24/7. Platforms like Kraken and Dinari offer these digital assets, which provide economic exposure to companies including Apple and Tesla. Each digital asset is backed by actual underlying shares.
The NYSE and Nasdaq are developing proprietary tokenization platforms in response to this trend. These systems aim to provide 24/7 trading and instant settlement capabilities for domestic markets.
U.S. regulators are establishing a framework for a potential domestic rollout. The SEC and Federal Reserve affirmed that tokenized securities fall under existing securities laws and capital rules.
