The NYSE is working to bring $40 trillion in U.S. stocks and ETFs onchain, per Coin Bureau, and the exchange has spent roughly a year testing Avalanche for the rails. The work centers on the exchange's in-development 24/7 ATS (Alternative Trading System).
Michael Blaugrund of parent company Intercontinental Exchange said Avalanche "checks a lot of those boxes" for round-the-clock trading. No formal partnership has been announced, but the comments and testing signal the exchange is treating Avalanche as a leading candidate to underpin 24/7 tokenized trading of U.S. equities. CoinMarketCap amplified the remarks as a headline development.
