Your Broker Has 18 Months | The Week Finance Changed

In the age of AI, stock trading is still writing cheques.
That changed this week.

On March 9, 2026, Nasdaq partnered with crypto exchange Kraken
to build the Equities Transformation Gateway — tokenized
equities trading 24/7, settling in seconds, instant, fractional,
and always on. Four days earlier, NYSE's parent Intercontinental
Exchange invested in OKX at a $25 billion valuation with the
same intent.

Two of the most powerful financial exchanges on earth. Same week.
Same bet. That is not a trend. That is a verdict.

In this episode, Aman breaks down:

→ Why the stock market is the last analogue institution in a
digital world
→ Why the ASX's $250M blockchain project failed in 2022 — and
why Nasdaq's approach won't repeat it
→ How this is structurally different from Robinhood fractional
shares
→ Why Kraken's Federal Reserve master account changes everything
→ Stablecoins, the GENIUS Act, and the hidden infrastructure
layer beneath it all
→ Three things to watch before mid-2027 — and why financial
journalists are missing the bigger story

This is a solo episode. Co-host Zubin Vandrevala is in New
Zealand. He couldn't wait.
