The Market Never Sleeps: Inside the NYSE 24/7 Digital Token Platform Mission
NYSE owner Intercontinental Exchange is building a new 24/7 digital token platform for instant settlement and tokenized assets, partnering with Citigroup and BNY Mellon.
The traditional opening bell might soon be a relic of the past. Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange, announced on January 12, 2026, that it's developing a new mission-critical platform for 24/7 digital token trading. This move marks a significant shift toward continuous global liquidity.
Launching the NYSE 24/7 Digital Token Platform Mission
According to reports from the Associated Press, the new platform will operate independently of the standard NYSE venue. It utilizes blockchain technology to facilitate tokenization—converting assets like shares, bonds, and real estate into tradable digital tokens. By leveraging stablecoins for funding, the platform promises instant settlement, removing the traditional multi-day waiting periods for transaction clearing.
Institutional Support and Regulatory Hurdles
To ensure a robust ecosystem, ICE is collaborating with banking giants including Citigroup and Bank of New York Mellon. The goal is to support tokenized deposits across six global clearinghouses. However, the mission's full deployment is contingent upon meeting rigorous regulatory scrutiny. Once approved, the platform will enable the trading of tokenized company shares in a secure, regulated environment.
