Nasdaq announced a $50 million strategic investment in Gemini, the cryptocurrency exchange backed by the Winklevoss brothers, ahead of Gemini's initial public offering. This investment deepens Nasdaq's involvement in the rapidly evolving digital asset space.
Concurrently, Nasdaq filed a request with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to allow for tokenized trading of securities, including exchange-traded products and stocks, on its blockchain. This initiative aims to leverage blockchain technology to modernize traditional market infrastructure.
These combined actions signal Nasdaq's ambition to integrate digital assets and blockchain technology into its core offerings, potentially transforming how securities are traded. The investment in Gemini and the pursuit of tokenized trading position Nasdaq at the forefront of financial market innovation, opening new avenues for growth and revenue.
