The Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland recently surveyed 148 businesses, asking whether they planned to use stablecoins. Only eight raised their hands. Yet at almost the same time, ICE, the parent company of the NYSE, teamed up with OKX to launch OKXICE and applied to the SEC to launch a tokenized U.S. stock platform offering round-the-clock trading, 24/7, initially covering 63 U.S. stocks. Nasdaq’s CEO also championed the tokenization of securities at TOKEN2049. On one side, capital giants are frantically laying the groundwork; on the other, businesses are sitting tight. What stablecoins have always lacked isn’t technology or licenses, but the network effects needed to kick-start a two-sided market. The old financial system’s walls will truly crumble when your overseas supplier one day asks you to pay in U. Do you think tokenized U.S. stocks could be the key catalyst that breaks the deadlock?
