SEC just gave tokenized stocks the green light. Kind of.
You can now trade $AAPL, $TSLA on-chain with regulatory blessing.
SEC issued an Innovation Exemption — basically temp permission to trade tokenized US stocks on blockchain. Real shares, tradable as tokens, on-chain, legally.
Before this? Grey area. Builders were shipping tokenized stocks but nobody knew where SEC stood. Now there's an actual path.
Why it matters per SEC:
• Fractional ownership — buy slices of shares
• Self-custody — hold stocks yourself, no broker middleman
• 24/7 trading — not locked to market hours
• Instant settlement — no T+2 bullshit
Caveat: It's temporary while they write full rules. Not the endgame.
But SEC opening this door and listing benefits? Massive for tokenized assets movement. This is the unlock.
