  "account": "On September 15, Nasdaq (NASDAQ:NDAQ) announced a partnership with Stablecore to enhance its financial crime detection platform. The collaboration aims to integrate traditional banking data with digital asset activity, addressing the challenge of criminals using both bank accounts and crypto to launder money. Stablecore's infrastructure enables banks to offer stablecoins and tokenized deposits without creating new technology stacks, while the platform holds digital asset records without storing personal information. The combined data from this integration provides investigators with a comprehensive view of customer profiles. Stablecore's transaction data now flows into Nasdaq Verafin, merging with existing customer records. The addition of real-time sanctions screening for digital asset transfers is planned, merging with Verafin's existing sanctions program. The partnership may generate revenue once it expands to Nasdaq's mutual client base in the fourth quarter of 2026 and 2027. Nasdaq's non-GAAP operating expenses have increased by 10% year over year, and GAAP expenses climbed 7%. Despite the uncertainty surrounding the rollout and potential revenue, Nasdaq is investing in technology to fight financial crime at the intersection of traditional banking and crypto.",
