Nasdaq has partnered with digital asset platform Talos to integrate Talos' infrastructure with Nasdaq's Calypso and Trade Surveillance systems, creating a solution for managing tokenized collateral. This collaboration aims to overcome barriers in institutional markets by enabling real-time management of tokenized financial assets with rigorous risk and collateral controls. Nasdaq highlights that 25% of collateral, worth over $35 billion, is currently inefficiently used, and this partnership seeks to unlock that value by improving liquidity and transparency across markets. The move supports Nasdaq's broader strategy to merge on- and off-chain ecosystems, fostering innovation in global capital markets.
