Tokenization Gains Traction Among Wall Street Institutions

Wall Street banks, exchanges, regulators, and lawmakers are increasingly focusing on tokenization as a key market-structure initiative. According to NS3.AI, BMO is planning to introduce tokenized cash to facilitate 24/7 margin activities, while Nasdaq has received clearance to support certain tokenized stocks and ETFs. Recent regulatory and congressional actions in the U.S. indicate that tokenization is progressing beyond pilot programs, moving towards establishing rules for real-time settlement and collateral utilization.
