Nasdaq Pushes Crypto Trading Boundaries with Framework Submitted to SEC
Nasdaq has proposed a bold regulatory framework to the SEC that aims to integrate digital assets into U.S. capital markets while safeguarding investors.
In an April 25 letter, Nasdaq outlined a four-tier system to classify digital assets and called for the creation of “ATS-Digital,” a specialized trading venue with lighter oversight for commodities and other digital assets. Nasdaq also urged the SEC to introduce a voluntary safe harbor for unclassified assets, emphasizing that innovation must prioritize investor protection. By coordinating efforts with the CFTC and Congress, Nasdaq believes the U.S. can modernize its financial system while maintaining market integrity.
