The London Stock Exchange Is Starting to Look a Little Like a Crypto Exchange 🔥 The London Stock Exchange is working with Kraken parent Payward on something that would have sounded pretty strange five years ago: tokenized UK stocks designed to trade alongside digital assets, with the new market targeted for 2027 pending regulatory approval. The tokens are expected to be backed 1:1 by actual shares and available globally in small denominations. What catches my attention isn't really the tokenization part anymore. We've seen enough tokenized stocks to know that technically wrapping equities on blockchain rails is possible. It's the market-hours problem. Crypto trained an entire generation of investors to expect that markets are simply... open. Saturday night, Christmas morning, 3 a.m. -$ETH doesn't care. Traditional equities still operate around opening bells, closing auctions, weekends and settlement infrastructure inherited from a very different technological era. Now major exchanges are experimenting with extending those markets rather than asking crypto investors to adapt back to the old schedule. I’m not convinced every stock needs to trade 24/7. But once investors get used to assets that do, convincing them that Nvidia absolutely must stop trading because it's 4 p.m. in New York starts sounding increasingly strange. #ETHBlockchain #ETHFoundation
