According to Quartz, Nasdaq CEO Adena Friedman stated during the TOKEN2049 Singapore conference that tokenizing collateral assets like U.S. Treasury bonds, stocks, and money market funds alongside cash flows could significantly enhance collateral liquidity and potentially unlock tens of billions of dollars in currently tied-up capital within the global financial system. She noted that institutional interest in tokenization has grown noticeably over the past year, while retail investors' demand for 24/7 trading is driving traditional financial markets toward a round-the-clock model. Friedman emphasized that achieving a true 24/7 market requires not only upgrading exchange infrastructure but also enabling real-time, around-the-clock risk management and collateral management, with AI playing a key role in this transformation. However, she pointed out that not all assets have sufficient liquidity to support 24/7 trading. https://www.(wublock123.com)/news/nasdaq-ceo-tokenization-to-unlock-billions-ai-driven-24-7-markets-69816
