The New York Stock Exchange just announced it's building a blockchain platform for 24/7 stock trading with instant settlement and stablecoin funding—not as some crypto experiment but as a full rebuild of how American capitalism's plumbing actually works. This isn't a scrappy startup trying to disrupt finance, this is the 200-year-old institution that IS Wall Street saying the future of equity markets is on-chain, partnering with giants like BNY Mellon and Citi to tokenize shares that work exactly like traditional stocks. Pending regulatory approval that nobody's talking about, because when the NYSE decides to eliminate trading hours entirely and settle securities on distributed ledgers, everyone's too stunned to ask what could possibly go wrong.
