Is Nasdaq really serious this time? 🔥

Do you remember the proposal from September 8th? Recently, Matt Savarese, head of Nasdaq's digital asset division, made it clear: promoting "tokenized stocks" to pass SEC review has become their top priority at this stage.

In translation, it means - in the future, you may really be able to buy and sell stock tokens on their platform, just like trading digital assets. If this happens, the impact could be significant.

**A few points to note:**

**The regulatory route is very "smart"👔**
Nasdaq does not intend to confront head-on. Savarese emphasized that they will operate within the SEC regulatory framework, focusing on "investor protection." Will this move persuade Gary Gensler? We shall see.

**The giants have gathered to enter the market💼**
This year, the RWA (Real World Asset Tokenization) sector is indeed hot. Recently, Galaxy Digital just announced equity tokenization, and now Nasdaq is also getting involved. Traditional finance is really anxious this time.

**But don't celebrate too early 🧊**
Some voices in the circle are pouring cold water: if these tokenized assets eventually run on various Layer 2 networks, their value may not flow back to the Ethereum mainnet at all. What about the impact on the overall market's coin prices? It may not be as significant as imagined.

To be honest, this matter is a signal in every sense - traditional funds are indeed looking for an entry point. However, how it plays out and the real impact on the cryptocurrency market will still depend on how the SEC responds.

Will Nasdaq's recent surge lift RWA? Or will it be delayed for another year or two? 💬

Another regulatory drama is coming, can it really be implemented this time, bro? --- Can it pass Gensler's scrutiny? It feels like it will drag on for another six months. --- The Layer2 liquidity issue is here, and the rebound in coin prices may not be that strong. --- TradFi is getting anxious, and the RWA trend is indeed here. --- The promised investor protection is just another new way to play people for suckers. --- If it really happens, I'll just buy stock tokens directly on Nasdaq, saving the hassle of using a wallet. --- If the SEC approves this wave, the entire crypto market landscape will be reshuffled. --- Don't be fooled, remember the story from Galaxy, they shouted their slogans fiercely but what happened in the end? --- The issue of value loss on the Mainnet is indeed painful, and the L2 ecosystem is not that mature.

Nasdaq is putting on a show here; it sounds nice to say it's for investor protection, but isn't it just trying to get a pass from the SEC? Let's see how Gensler responds.

Nasdaq is really getting on board this time, unlike the previous empty talk, it feels like something is happening. If this passes, those in TradFi will really start to take digital assets seriously, but can Gensler get through that... The issues with Layer 2 are indeed severe, whether coin prices will soar is still uncertain, everyone has moved to Layer 2, what about the Mainnet side? Alright, let's just wait and see, anyway, there have been quite a few bubbles blown up in RWA in recent years, let's hope it's not another empty promise. It feels like everyone is competing for entry, the ones really making money are probably those early projects. It's said to be investor protection, but frankly, it just seems like they want to create a compliant shell to play people for suckers. I just want to know if retail investors can really participate in the end.

Once again it's Nasdaq and RWA, it feels like every time it's a lot of noise but little rain. I’ll believe it when the SEC really gives the green light. It's really heartbreaking that Layer2 can't return to the Mainnet, how can the coin price rise at all? TradFi is indeed getting anxious, but we really have to be cautious. It's nice to say it’s about getting on board, but to put it bluntly, it’s just a new trick to raise money. Can that guy Gensler really loosen up? I think it’s unlikely. Rather than expecting this wave, it’s better to see how several projects actually land. Are we going to wait another year or two? I can’t afford to wait, this cycle isn’t long. I’m taking a wait-and-see approach, after all, there have been so many promises already. If Nasdaq can really push this matter forward, that would be serious progress.
