Tokenized Stocks Are Moving From Crypto Experiments to Wall Street Infrastructure

Tokenized stocks are transitioning from crypto experiments into mainstream financial infrastructure.

Nasdaq, DTCC, Robinhood, Kraken, and Ondos all see tokenization as a market-structure initiative that has the potential to impact equities trading, settlement, custody, collateral, and access to the market.

Tokenized Stocks Are No Longer Just a Crypto Experiment Stock tokenization used to be a crypto-native phenomenon that existed primarily on crypto platforms that represented price exposure to public companies.

However, in 2026, the space is witnessing a fundamental shift, with major financial institutions building critical infrastructure around tokenized securities.
