Nasdaq said these barriers include the difficulty of fitting digital assets into existing collateral and risk systems used by large institutions.<\/p>\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Firms target idle collateral in institutional markets<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>Nasdaq said internal research <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nasdaq.com\/solutions\/fintech\/resources\/reports\/making-the-case-for-tokenized-collateral\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">points<\/a> to about $35 billion in collateral being tied up in \u201ccorrective and non-interest-bearing measures.\u201d The new integration is meant to reduce that friction by helping firms manage tokenized collateral more efficiently across different asset classes.<\/p>\n<p>Talos chief executive Anton Katz said,\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201dThe evolution toward tokenized collateral is a natural progression for institutional capital markets.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>He added that bringing Talos together with Nasdaq\u2019s systems could reduce friction across onchain and offchain assets.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the integration also adds Nasdaq\u2019s trade surveillance tools to Talos\u2019s client workflow. That means users will be able to monitor trading activity for patterns linked to wash trading, spoofing and layering across the venues they access.<\/p>\n<p>That focus comes as digital asset markets continue to face questions around market integrity. Nasdaq said the combined system is intended to bring \u201cinstitutional-grade\u201d compliance standards into workflows used for tokenized collateral and digital asset trading.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tokenization push continues across large firms<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Nasdaq-Talos move comes as larger financial groups keep building tokenization tools for institutions.

Franklin Templeton said in February that eligible institutions can use tokenized money market fund shares as off-exchange collateral in digital markets, showing that large firms are moving beyond pilots into live institutional products.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nasdaq and Talos are expanding their work in digital assets with a new integration aimed at improving how institutions manage tokenized collateral.\u00a0 Summary Nasdaq and Talos joined systems to improve&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":600,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24304","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cryptocurrency"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24304","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24304"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24304\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24305,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24304\/revisions\/24305"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/600"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24304"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24304"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24304"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
