Ava Labs says Avalanche will support NYSE's affiliated upcoming digital alternative trading system (ATS) by providing the core ledger technology to the platform's clearing firm.
NYSE previously announced that its affiliate is developing a platform for trading and onchain settlement of tokenized securities; subject to applicable regulatory approvals, it is designed to allow 24/7 trading, clearing and settlement for subscribers.
NYSE's Head of Digital Issuance, Dennis Lee, is quoted as saying the platform will support equities listed on a range of blockchains, while the ledger that records and settles trades must let NYSE control who can take part.

Why it matters

Banks acting as custodians, clearing members or cash providers for US equities will need to plan for a permissioned, always-on settlement ledger at a major exchange group, separate from the chains on which the tokenized shares themselves are issued.
