Blue Ocean Technologies, LLC, a fintech firm focused on global trading and data, announced plans to integrate with a forthcoming tokenized National Market System equities solution. The move would make Blue Ocean ATS the first alternative trading system to support tokenized U.S. equities trading. The proposed solution would maintain existing investor protections and clearing controls while moving settlement to a blockchain platform. “Integrating with forthcoming tokenized settlement infrastructure represents the next frontier in our journey,” Brian Hyndman, CEO of Blue Ocean Technologies commented. “Tokenization has the potential to complete the 24/7/365 market, closing the final gap in an increasingly connected global trading ecosystem,” he explained. Blue Ocean recently became a data oracle operator on the Pyth Network, publishing real-time overnight U.S. equities prices for blockchain applications. Meanwhile, eToro is introducing tokenized U.S. shares, allowing investors to trade blockchain-backed versions of popular equities. The company shared its plan when announcing a new 24/5 trading schedule. Under this schedule, its 100 most popular U.S. stocks can be traded outside regular market hours.
