This initiative is part of a larger movement towards an \"everything exchange,\" where all asset classes can be traded on a unified blockchain platform. Although tokenized equities currently represent a small segment of the market, they have the potential to revolutionize the $126 trillion global stock market's trading and settlement processes, positioning traditional exchanges and crypto firms as both competitors and collaborators."

# Here is why Nasdaq and owner of NYSE are putting the $126 trillion equity market on blockchain

-   Two of the most powerful stock exchange operators, the Nasdaq and ICE, partnered with major crypto exchanges to create and trade tokenized versions of traditional stocks on blockchains.
-   These alliances reflect a broader push toward an "everything exchange," in which all asset classes trade on a shared blockchain infrastructure.
-   Tokenized equities remain small today but could transform how the $126 trillion global stock market trades and settles. The race for that prize makes incumbents and crypto firms rivals and partners at the same time.
