Summary
Nasdaq, Inc. is a global technology company that operates the Nasdaq Stock Market, an American stock exchange based in New York City, and ranks second globally by market capitalization. Beyond its traditional role as an exchange, Nasdaq has expanded to offer market infrastructure and anti-financial crime solutions, and is integrating tokenized securities into its core markets to streamline post-trade processing and embrace blockchain technology. The company is also exploring a shift towards 24/5 trading to modernize markets for a global audience. Nasdaq's CEO, Adena Friedman, has discussed the challenges within the current IPO market, which leads companies to remain private longer, and has advocated for reforms and alternative public market avenues like direct listings. Friedman also highlighted the need for regulatory clarity in the crypto space to allow institutional participation, noting a positive stance from the SEC and collaboration with the CFTC, which could position Nasdaq to compete with cryptocurrency exchanges. Drawing on her experience with the New York Fed, she affirmed her belief in the independence of the Federal Reserve and the strength of the US Dollar, while acknowledging the ongoing influence of the Great Financial Crisis on regulatory approaches to systemic risk. Broader market trends discussed include the prevalence of index investing and the predictive role of options markets.
