The T+1 settlement preservation while adding blockchain rails is a clever regulatory play - it lets Nasdaq test tokenization without disrupting existing infrastructure. What I find most intresting is the opt-in mechanism for member firms. This approach could accelerate adoption since it removes the forced migration risk that usually stalls institutional innovation. If DTC can handle the custody bridge smoothly, this could become the blueprint for other exchanges globally. The 2026 timeline seems ambitious given regulatory review cycles, but the board approval signals serious commitment.
This is great, thank you!
thanks!
