Basics

"Distributed ledgers could theoretically eliminate the need for centralized exchanges, but Nasdaq has hedged its bets by immersing itself in the new industry. For example, it has sold its market-surveillance software to seven crypto exchanges and a blockchain eVoting product to the South African central securities depository. Nasdaq has also brought together eight Swedish companies to develop a blockchain to replace the current paper-driven trading process in the Swedish mutual fund market. Full profile"

"As of one blockchain’s earliest enterprise adopters, Nasdaq has moved beyond pilots and proofs of concept and has released several blockchain products designed for capital markets, including an electronic voting tool for South Africa’s central securities depository. It’s now reaching into other industries like insurance and logistics after finding that the solutions it originally developed for the finance industry could be applied in other fields. It has also provided blockchain tech to NYIAX, an advertising exchange that lets publishers buy, sell, and trade contracts."
