Canton Strategic Holdings to launch tokenized stock trading on Nov. 2

Nasdaq-listed Canton Strategic Holdings plans to begin tokenized stock trading on Nov. 2, offering shares that carry the same shareholder rights as traditional stock. The offering would provide round-the-clock trading and immediate settlement under the SEC's innovation exemption. A live tokenized-equity venue at a listed company is a meaningful step toward mainstream blockchain-based securities, which supports the tokenization narrative traders watch for infrastructure and exchange-related tokens.
