The move is intended to modernize stock trading, and evolves from the current arguably outdated model of trading during roughly half the day, on weekdays and non-holidays only.

According to Michael Blaugrund of Intercontinental Exchange Inc (ICE), who owns the NYSE, the development illustrates the evolution "from trading floor, to electronic order-book, to blockchain." The modernized platform, set to arrive "later this year," reportedly leverages NYSE's Pillar buyer-seller matching engine and integrates it with a blockchain-based system.

Crucially, the architecture links with various networks, and the tokenized stocks match those of a conventional share, maintaining owners' rights to dividends and corporate governance. As expected, the shares are backed by U.S. dollars in stablecoin form.
