Wall Street Goes 24/7: Nvidia, Tesla and 60+ US Stocks Set for Onchain Trading

A new blockchain-based trading venue is planning to offer round-the-clock trading of more than 60 tokenized U.S. stocks, including shares of Nvidia and Tesla, according to a report from CoinDesk. The venue will operate 24/7 and execute trades against stablecoins using blockchain-based liquidity pools, bypassing the traditional order book model used by major stock exchanges.

The development represents a growing push to bring traditional financial assets onto public blockchains. Tokenized stocks aim to provide continuous trading, fractional ownership, and faster settlement, though regulatory questions remain. The venue's reliance on stablecoins and liquidity pools could offer deeper, automated liquidity but also introduces new counterparty and smart contract risks. No specific launch date or participating firms were disclosed in the initial report.

If successful, the initiative could pressure established exchanges to extend trading hours and explore similar blockchain-based offerings. It also raises concerns among regulators about investor protection and market integrity, as tokenized equities blur the lines between traditional securities and crypto assets. Market participants will be watching for further details on the venue's regulatory compliance and partnerships.
