BREAKING: NYSE develops tokenized securities platform to support 24/7 trading

The New York Stock Exchange just made its biggest move into crypto.

On Monday, NYSE said it's building a blockchain platform for tokenized stocks.

The platform would run 24/7. Trades would settle instantly. And funding would happen through stablecoins.

If approved, it would be the first time America's oldest exchange runs fully on-chain.

What's being built

The platform links NYSE's trading system to blockchain settlement. It supports multiple chains. Trades settle in real time using stablecoins - not the usual one-day wait.

It would handle both tokenized versions of normal stocks and ETFs, plus new digital-native securities. Shareholders keep the same voting rights and dividends as before.

ICE, NYSE's parent company, is already working with BNY and Citi.

The goal: let members move money outside normal banking hours and across time zones.

Why it matters

This isn't a just a test run. It's not a vague press release about "exploring blockchain."

It's the world's largest stock exchange building real infrastructure to settle trades on-chain, around the clock, with stablecoins.

The timing isn't random.

Robinhood has already launched tokenized stocks for European users.

Coinbase plans to add them this quarter.

Nasdaq is pushing for near 24-hour trading. The race is heating up.

BlackRock's Larry Fink called tokenization "the next major evolution in market infrastructure."

NYSE just showed it agrees.

But…

The platform still needs regulatory approval. The launch is targeted for later this year.

And at the time of writing, no specific blockchains have been named. 🚀

Larry Lepard put it bluntly this week: the Big Print is coming.

Not because politicians want it. Not because the Fed is reckless.

But because the math leaves no other option.

And that is very good for crypto prices…

If you don’t know who Larry Lepard is, he’s a longtime macro investor who laid all of this out years ago.

In his book, he explains the Big Print as the unavoidable moment when governments are forced to print massive amounts of money instead of defaulting on their debts.

This week, he explained why it’s coming sooner than people expect and why it can’t be avoided:

Here’s why he says it’s mathematical certainty:

That’s the “Big Print.”

And when a lot of new money gets created, prices tend to rise, and your dollars buy less & less.

Bitcoin was literally made for that kind of world.

There will only ever be 21 million BTC.

No one can print more.

So as the masses start realizing their money is being diluted, they look for things that can’t be diluted.

That’s why the Big Print is good for Bitcoin & crypto.

Stack accordingly. 🥞

And we’re back…

Last week, digital asset funds saw inflows of $2.17 billion.

That’s the largest weekly total since October 10th, 2025. (Just before the market crash)

Let’s break it down.

The inflows were concentrated on Bitcoin last week which saw $1.55 billion.

Ethereum followed with $496 million in inflows.

Whilst XRP and Solana saw inflows of $69.5 and $45.5 million.

From a regional perspective, the US dominated with $2.05 billion.

Germany, Switzerland and Canada followed with inflows of $63.9m, $41.6m and $12.3m respectively.

CoinShares points out that inflows were strong early in the week, then sentiment flipped on Friday with $378 million in outflows.

This was likely due to two macro economic factors:

The money's coming back in, but it's still a little skittish.

One headline and the flows start to reverse. That's not conviction yet.

But it's a start. 🚀
