Nasdaq, the global exchange operator and market technology provider, is seeking a product manager to lead its tokenization efforts as Wall Street accelerates its efforts to integrate traditional assets onto blockchain infrastructure.
The New York-based role will oversee the full product lifecycle for digital asset issuance, from initial concept through widespread institutional adoption, according to a LinkedIn post.
The position requires candidates to collaborate directly with broker-dealers, custodians and market participants to develop workflows that meet regulatory and operational standards.
Key responsibilities include managing token creation processes, managing corporate actions such as dividends and proxy voting, and developing compliance frameworks for identity verification and sanctions control.
The move comes after Nasdaq filed a request with the SEC to support trading in tokenized versions of its listed stocks, aligning with the regulator’s broader regulatory agenda that could allow crypto activity on domestic exchanges.
Speaking at ETHDenver this week, SEC Chairman Paul Atkins and Commissioner Hester Peirce outlined details of an upcoming innovation exemption targeting tokenized securities.
Positioned as a measured, incremental move forward, it would enable controlled experimentation with on-chain trading via specialized transfer agents, whitelists, volume caps, and temporary relief from certain rules to test DeFi-style mechanisms like AMMs.
