Major shifts are underway in traditional finance. One of the world's largest stock exchanges is stepping into blockchain infrastructure, exploring tokenized securities trading on distributed networks. This move signals growing institutional confidence in blockchain settlement systems. The platform could potentially reduce settlement time from days to minutes and lower infrastructure costs. It remains to be seen how regulators will respond and whether this becomes a mainstream offering. Either way, it's a significant marker of how legacy financial systems are experimenting with Web3 technologies.
