The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) has chosen Avalanche to provide the settlement layer for its tokenized stocks platform. The NYSE will be building the core settlement and clearing infrastructure on Avalanche. Avalanche will also support the clearing firm for the platform and help build infrastructure for 24/7 trading, clearing and settlement.
This is part of the NYSE’s overall strategy to launch a tokenized stocks platform by the end of 2026. However, this will be subject to approval from the US Securities and Exchange Commission.

By choosing Avalanche to provide the settlement infrastructure for its tokenized assets, the NYSE is putting Avalanche at the centre of a major tokenization initiative.
The Platform Will Provide 24/7 Trading & Settlement.
Tokenized stocks are traditional equity holdings that have been digitised using blockchain technology. This aims to move financial assets onto blockchain networks and provide innovative ways to trade and settle.
This is a key moment for Avalanche as it shows it is being used by an institution. This could see Avalanche become a key player in traditional financial markets. However, this is still in development. The project will be launched at the end of the year once it has received approval from the SEC.
