NYSE: Tokenized Securities Platform

Dedicated blockchain infrastructure designed to support the clearing and settlement of tokenized securities at institutional scale.

NYSE: Tokenized Securities Platform

Tokenized securities require more than a blockchain on which assets can be issued. They require infrastructure capable of recording and settling transactions reliably, at scale.

Avalanche will provide the core ledger technology to the clearing firm supporting the upcoming NYSE-affiliated platform, helping bring critical market infrastructure onchain. Subject to regulatory approvals, the platform is designed to enable 24/7 trading, clearing and settlement of tokenized securities.

Avalanche provides dedicated blockchain infrastructure designed to meet the performance, reliability and operational requirements of institutional capital markets.

Frequently asked questions

Avalanche will provide the core ledger technology to the clearing firm of NYSE’s affiliated upcoming digital ATS. In that role, Avalanche serves as the ledger that records and settles trades, supporting clearing and settlement of tokenized securities onchain.

NYSE announced that its affiliate is developing a new digital platform for the trading and onchain settlement of tokenized securities. Subject to applicable regulatory approvals, the platform is designed to allow 24/7 trading, clearing and settlement for its subscribers.

According to Dennis Lee, Head of Digital Issuance at NYSE, the ledger that records and settles trades on the platform needs to be fast and reliable, allow control over who can take part, keep costs predictable, and have a large community of developers behind it. NYSE determined that Avalanche meets those needs.

An Avalanche L1 is a dedicated blockchain network built with Avalanche technology. Each L1 can set its own rules, including who can validate and participate, its fee structure, and its execution environment, while remaining able to connect with other networks in the Avalanche ecosystem.

Securities tokenization is the process of representing ownership of a security, such as an equity, as a digital token recorded on a blockchain. This can allow securities to be issued, traded and settled onchain.

Subject to applicable regulatory approvals, the platform is designed to allow 24/7 trading, clearing and settlement for its subscribers.

The press release distinguishes between the NYSE-affiliated digital ATS, where trading takes place, and the platform’s clearing firm, which handles clearing and settlement.
