The New York Stock Exchange has launched ‘First Trade’ non-fungible tokens to “memorialise” the first trades made of the listings of six companies, including streaming company Spotify and online game platform Roblox. 

“[When a company IPOs] NYSE technology is processing over 350 billion order, quote and trade messages across our markets on our busiest days, more than any other exchange in the world,” said Stacey Cunningham, the chief executive of the stock exchange.
