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.
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.
Blue Ocean Advances Tokenized U.S. Equities
Blue Ocean highlighted its experience as the first regulated
U.S. equities venue operating overnight from 8 p.m. to 4 a.m. ET. Tokenization
is presented as a step toward 24/7 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 Joins Pyth Network Oracle
Blue Ocean recently became a data oracle operator on the
Pyth Network, publishing real-time overnight U.S. equities prices for
blockchain applications.
The firm said it will continue discussions with regulators,
clearing organizations, and market participants to ensure its tokenized trading
aligns with National Market System principles, including fairness,
transparency, and investor protection.
Institutional Investors Access Alpaca Tokenized Equities
US broker-dealer Alpaca
has launched its Instant Tokenization Network (ITN), allowing institutional
investors to convert U.S. stocks into blockchain-based tokens and back,
including outside regular market hours.
The platform supports “in-kind” minting and redemption,
helping token prices track real-world shares and addressing liquidity concerns.
Backed by global partners, ITN aims to expand digital market liquidity.
