Nasdaq plans to advance the tokenization of its own stocks and will not participate in the SEC's innovation exemption platform

According to crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett, in response to reports that a Nasdaq representative allegedly discouraged listed companies from tokenizing stocks through the OKX/ICE TSV program, a Nasdaq spokesperson declined to comment.

Nasdaq reiterated that it does not plan to participate in trading platforms operating under the SEC's innovation exemption, believing this is not the best path for stock tokenization. Meanwhile, Nasdaq will continue to promote the issuer-centric Nasdaq Equity Token model, planning to achieve stock tokenization within the existing market framework.
