What to know:
- Kraken will distribute one-to-one tokenized versions of public company stocks to customers in Europe and other international markets.
- Nasdaq says token holders would retain the same governance rights as traditional shareholders, including voting and dividends.
- The initiative builds on Nasdaq’s proposal to the SEC to allow tokenized versions of listed stocks and ETFs to trade alongside traditional shares.
Nasdaq said it will work with crypto exchange Kraken to develop a system for issuing and trading tokenized versions of stocks and other exchange-traded products, according to a Wall Street Journal report.
Under the plan, tokenized shares would give investors the same corporate governance rights as ordinary stockholders, including voting in proxy ballots and receiving dividends. Nasdaq said the initiative will focus heavily on making corporate actions, such as dividend payments and proxy voting, more efficient by automating parts of the process through blockchain technology. The platform is expected to launch in early 2027.
Kraken will act as a distribution partner for the project. Through the arrangement, one-to-one tokenized versions of public company shares would be made available to Kraken’s customers outside the United States, particularly in Europe and other international markets.
The effort builds on a proposal Nasdaq submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in September seeking approval to allow tokenized versions of its listed stocks and exchange-traded products to trade alongside traditional shares on the exchange.
In that proposal, both the tokenized and conventional versions would be settled through the Depository Trust to ensure they remain interchangeable.
Last week exchange operator ICE made a strategic investment in OKX, valuing the exchange at $25 billion as it signed a deal to offer new tokenized stocks and crypto futures products.
Separately, Nasdaq also announced a partnership with Boerse Stuttgart Group’s tokenized settlement platform Seturion to connect its European trading venues to infrastructure designed to support trading and settlement of tokenized securities.

Bitcoin Money Laundering Penalties Surge, Brokers Must Comply in Brazil
The post Bitcoin Money Laundering Penalties Surge, Brokers Must Comply in Brazil appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Brazil increases penalties against Bitcoin laundering, requiring the cooperation of crypto brokers in the fight against digital crime by 2025. Brazil has made strong efforts in disabling money laundering using Bitcoin. Penalties are enhanced by the new law. Crypto brokers and tech firms also have to collaborate with it. In September 2025, the bill was presented by Deputy Domingos Neto. It amends the current legislation to combat digital crime more effectively. This is indicative of the fast development of cryptocurrency-based crimes. The legislation aims at criminal gangs that use technological devices and cryptocurrencies to conceal criminal proceeds New Penalties Shake Digital Crime Organizations that engage in crimes through cyber means, such as Bitcoin laundering, are currently facing tougher penalties. According to the law, a digital criminal organization refers to three or more individuals who commit crimes whose penalties last more than four years. Criminals may get 4-8 years of incarceration and the punishments increase by a third or half in case more sophisticated equipment is used to avoid detection. Cryptocurrencies: Money laundering is expressly illegal. In case laundering is carried out through such digital groups, the penalty is raised by 33 to 66 percent. These actions represent the realization of Brazil that cryptocurrency is a significant path to illegal money. Crypto Brokers Are Subjected to Tight Cooperation According to the new law, the cooperation of crypto brokers, internet providers, banks, and technology companies with the police and the judiciary is compulsory. They have to assist in suspect identification. The consequences of failure to help are fines, which will indicate the interest of the Brazilian in being transparent and accountable in crypto operations. The situation with cryptocurrency in Brazil is that it is not illegal but tightly regulated. The brokers are required to conduct know-your-customer (KYC) and anti-money laundering (AML). Suspicious…
