Tokenization could unleash tens of billions of dollars in trapped capital, Nasdaq CEO says

Nasdaq CEO Adena Friedman said tokenization could free up tens of billions of dollars in trapped capital.

  • Nasdaq CEO Adena Friedman stated that tokenization could unlock tens of billions of dollars in trapped capital by making collateral assets like Treasurys, equities, and money market funds more liquid.
  • She highlighted growing institutional interest, partly due to regulatory frameworks like the Genius Act, and the demand for 24/7 trading from both institutional and retail investors.
  • Friedman also noted that AI will be critical for managing the transition to a 24/7 market, though not all assets may be suitable for such an environment.
