Nasdaq's intention to introduce a proprietary equity coin design was announced by the company on March 9, 2026.

Nasdaq, in partnership with crypto infrastructure giant Kraken and their xStocks eco-system, is moving from being a mere spectator to becoming the primary architect for Real-World Asset Tokenization (RWA). This new framework allows companies to tokenize shares directly. It gives them unprecedented control of shareholder engagement, proxy votes, and corporate action in an "always on" 24/7 ecosystem.

Equities Transformation gateway is not just a digital wrapper of stocks. It is a bridge that connects permissioned exchange records with permissionless blockchain networks.

First time ever, a transfer will be deemed a transfer to the security itself. This maintains full regulatory equality while unlocking liquidity in global on-chain market. Nasdaq has reclaimed the narrative of "synthetic crypto contracts" by putting the issuer in the forefront. It also offers a compliant way for the multi-trillion-dollar equity market to migrate onto the ledger.

This partnership shows that the future of financial services is not a binary choice between "Crypto or Traditional" -- it's an interoperable, unified system where both your stock portfolio as well as your crypto wallet will be one.
