Former NYSE president says U.S. stock tokenization may arrive sooner than expected

Former New York Stock Exchange Group President Thomas Farley said in a recent interview with Crypto in America that tokenization of U.S. stocks could happen sooner than expected. Farley said issuers’ rights must be respected throughout the tokenization process, adding that there are currently around 2,500 issuers and that their rights, benefits and control over the stocks and tokens they issue must be guaranteed. Farley also said U.S.-listed shares had previously shifted from paper stock certificates to electronic book-entry records, and the same principle applied at that time.
