The New York Stock Exchange has developed a blockchain-based platform for trading tokenised stocks and exchange-traded funds, Cointelegraph reported. The platform supports 24-hour trading and instant settlement and is expected to operate after regulatory approval. NYSE and parent Intercontinental Exchange plan to combine a blockchain-based post-trade system with multichain support. Trades will settle in real time via stablecoins, potentially replacing the U.S. stock market’s daily settlement cycle.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin called for new designs for decentralised autonomous organisations, saying they need more sophisticated systems to improve on existing corporate and political structures. He said DAOs should go beyond token-holder voting treasuries and tackle core infrastructure needs such as oracles, onchain dispute resolution and long-term project management. He also pointed to uses including subjective disputes such as insurance claims, maintaining anti-scam lists and setting up short-term funding bodies.
