Tokenization of US financial markets

Started Jan. 26, 2026

Abstract or project description

This paper examines how moving the New York Stock Exchange onto a blockchain would replace traditional trading with a 24/7 digital system. It explores how this shift makes stocks easier to buy through fractional ownership while requiring new government regulations to ensure market safety. By analyzing global capital flows, the research determines if tokenization will actually make markets more efficient or just more complex. Finally, it uses future scenarios to predict how these changes will impact investors and banks over the next decade.
