Each market exchange is usually stored on the Stock Exchange's digital register, the the most famous centralized financial market institution in the world that has thus chosen the decentralized technology par excellence guaranteed by the blockchain, to celebrate the topical moments of its history. “We like to celebrate at the New York Stock Exchange,” says president Stacey Cunningham. "It seemed appropriate to us to launch our First Trade nft as a fun new way to mark the moment when a company joins NYSE." Apparently these NFTs are not intended for sale, but have been given away to their respective companies, according to CoinDesk.
The videos are hosted on the Borsa portal, in a page dedicated to nft. "We start with these six, but we know there will be many more on the way as we continue to welcome innovative new companies to our community," the institution explains. However, they can also be found on Crypto.com, which inaugurated a section dedicated to "nifties" on March 26. The Hong Kong-based invitation platform would then have provided the technology needed to process the NFTs of the New York Stock Exchange, which joins a club of supporters of these tokens alongside artists such as Snoop Dogg, Lionel Ritchie and Boy George.
Meanwhile, New York is preparing for Coinbase's stock market debut. The largest cryptocurrency exchange platform in the world has received SEC approval and will go public with a direct listing on the Nasdaq on April 14, allowing current shareholders to sell 115 million common shares without creating new ones.

The companies that manage the Nyse (Intercontinental Exhange) and Nasdaq have a market capitalization of 65 and 25 billion dollars respectively.
