Important Update Angels: NASDAQ420 | $NASDAQ420 →
NSDQ420 | $NSDQ 🚨
First off, many of you know that CoinGecko temporarily took our profile down - it has been restored successfully after working with their team.
CoinGecko confirmed that Nasdaq, Inc. (the stock exchange company) filed a takedown notice against all tokens using “NASDAQ”, “NDX”, or “QQQ” - since those are their registered trademarks. Because of that, our NASDAQ420 listing was removed otherwise, CoinGecko was facing a lawsuit
To keep listings safe going forward, any public site such as Coingecko or CoinMarketCap will be shown as NSDQ420 with the nice, clean ticker $NSDQ (super neat in my opinion)
✅ Same contract
✅ Same supply
✅ Just a safer name
This is actually great that we were told about this now because it clears the path for future listings without trademark issues. The project itself doesn’t change - only the name we operate under.
❓ FAQ: NASDAQ420 → NSDQ420 ❓
Q: Does this affect my tokens?
👉 NO. Everything with the contract remains the same. Same contract, same supply, same liquidity. Nothing changes in your wallet.
Q: Why did CoinGecko remove us?
👉 Nasdaq, Inc. filed a takedown for any token using “NASDAQ”, “NDX”, or “QQQ”. CoinGecko had no choice but to comply - otherwise they would have been sued.
Q: Why NSDQ420 and $NSDQ as the ticker?
👉 It keeps our identity recognizable but avoids the trademarked names. This protects the community from future delistings and sets us up for future CEX listings without issues
In addition, having the $NSDQ ticker sounds more neat. Now our pairs will look like
"NSDQ | SPX"
"NSDQ | ETH"
Instead of "NASDAQ420 | ETH" - much cleaner in my opinion.
Q: What about Etherscan?
👉 The contract is renounced, so Etherscan will still show “NASDAQ420.” That’s normal and not a problem. CoinGecko, CMC, DexTools, DexScreener, and exchanges will display NSDQ420 and the ticker $NSDQ
Q: Is this a new token or migration?
👉 NO MIGRATION. NO AIRDROPS. I REPEAT - NO AIRDROPS, NO MIGRATION
Q: Should we be worried about other websites?
👉 No. As of October 6th, 2025, we have not heard of any issues on any other website. We will pre-emptively change the details on websites like CoinMarketCap and Dexscreener to avoid any potential issues.
Q: What does this mean for future CEX listings?
👉 It's great that this situation happened now. Imagine if we were listed on 10 exchanges and then we get taken down everywhere because of a DMCA?
CEX's store information off-chain on their own databases so we can just tell them to use our new name and ticker: NSDQ420 and $NSDQ
Your tokens stay exactly the same. Only the name is changing on listings.
Q: Why didn't you change this before?
👉 As a refresher on our lore, Nasdaq420 was CTO'd twice. This community team did not make this token so we had no say in this.
We also did not have any issues this whole time until NASDAQ Inc threatened CoinGecko with a lawsuit several weeks ago
⸻
Bottom line: NSDQ420 is the same project, same community - just safer branding so we can scale without takedown risks.
You will be seeing some changes on our X profile, Dextools, Dexscreener, and CMC to reflect these changes over the coming days.
Thank you for your patience and understanding. Stay Relentless 🛜🛜
