I know mastercoin has a distributed exchange built in. See
http://mastercoin-explorer.com/order_books.

I'm not sure about securities though. That seems to be a bit more
complicated. It would definitely benefit Bitcoin miner operators who want
to get the latest hardware and want to pool resources from others who
couldn't afford a miner on their own.
