Blue Ocean Technologies has announced plans to integrate with a forthcoming tokenized trading solution for National Market System (NMS) equities. The move positions Blue Ocean ATS as the first alternative trading system to enable trading of tokenized U.S. equities. The initiative builds on Blue Ocean’s role as the first regulated venue for overnight U.S. equities trading, operating between 8 p.m. and 4 a.m. ET. Tokenization is seen as a step toward continuous, 24/7 trading while maintaining current investor protections and clearing controls. Settlement would occur on a public blockchain, leveraging its transparent and immutable design. The announcement follows Blue Ocean’s integration as a data oracle operator on the Pyth Network, where it provides real-time overnight U.S. equities pricing to blockchain-based applications. The company continues to work with regulators and industry participants to align its tokenized trading efforts with established market transparency standards. Image: Freepik
