The stock market is going on-chain. The NYSE-DTCC Russell 1000 pilot, the explosion of tokenized Treasuries past $11 billion, and a generation of on-chain private credit platforms are no longer proofs of concept - they are live infrastructure. The question has shifted from whether capital markets can tokenize to how fast the supporting stack - prime brokerage, custody, clearing, compliance, and investor access - can be rebuilt for on-chain settlement.
This roundtable convenes the architects of Internet Capital Markets to map where the infrastructure is genuinely ready, where legacy systems are the bottleneck, and what it will take to move emergent infrastructure from pilots to the primary issuance venue of choice. Participants will examine the impact of specific on-chain mechanics on the next generation stock market, including:
The session will also address the regulatory frontier - jurisdictional recognition of on-chain ownership, the status of tokenized securities under existing market structure rules, and where the gaps between MiCA, the GENIUS Act, and emerging APAC frameworks create opportunities for either arbitrage or paralysis.
