The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) hasfiled an applicationwith the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) to provide an online marketplace for various digital goods including NFTs, cryptocurrencies, digital media and artwork.

  • If the exchange follows up with these plans, it would be competing with the likes of OpenSea and Rarible.
  • In April, theNYSE minted its first setof NFTs with homages to six hot tech stocks that debuted on the world’s largest bourse, including Spotify, Roblox and Coupang. At the time, the exchange said it wasn’t selling the NFTs, only minting them, apparently for commemorative purposes.
  • With this latest trademark filing, it’s become clear that the NYSE may have much more ambitious plans for NFTs.
