The Block reports, according to a recent trademark application, the New York Stock Exchange last week applied for a trademark focused on virtual goods and NFTs.
The filing is not the exchange’s first move in this particular area. NYSE launched its first NFTs last year to celebrate “First Trades of these notable listings: Spotify, which executed the first-ever Direct Listing, Snowflake, Unity, DoorDash, Roblox and Cooping, the largest U.S. IPO so far this year,” according to their website.
Here’s a section from NYSE filing:
