NASDAQ SEEKS NOD FROM SEC TO TOKENIZE STOCKS

Nasdaq has filed a proposal with the SEC seeking permission to offer tokenized stock trading alongside traditional equity trading, allowing customers to choose between legacy methods and onchain transactions with equal priority treatment. The tokenized stocks would clear and settle through the existing Depository Trust Company infrastructure, with token holders receiving full shareholder rights, including voting and liquidation privileges. This move follows similar tokenization efforts by Robinhood in Europe and various crypto exchanges. The proposal aligns with SEC Chairman Paul Atkins' stated priority of clearing a path for tokenized securities markets. The regulator compares the transition to the historical shift from analog to digital audio formats.

I LOVE UUID, I HATE UUID

UUIDv4 is simply a random number in a 122bit spectrum. UUIDv7 uses its first 48 bits for the current time stamp, a few more bits for version and variant, and 74 bits to store a random number. This means that consecutive generations of UUIDv7s will sort one after the other. This solves the index issue and makes it possible to know the insert time of a row from within the primary key, which helps with debugging.
