The SEC enables the market for tokenized shares in the US.
Tokenized shares may be traded under an exemption that also protects shareholders’ rights.
On September 17, 2026, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued an order with immediate effect establishing a temporary regulatory pathway for certain trading platforms and liquidity providers to facilitate the trading of tokenized representations of listed U.S. stocks.
The measure, called the “Innovation Exemption,” will be in effect for five years and will function as a pilot period to collect information about this market before defining a permanent regulatory framework. The initiative is part of “Project Crypto,” an SEC program aimed at integrating U.S. financial markets with infrastructure based on distributed ledger networks, as explained by CriptoNoticias.
It outlines the rules: “The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued today an order granting a temporary and conditional exemption to Tokenized Securities Platforms (TSVs, for their English acronym) under the definition of ‘exchange’ in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Securities Exchange Act) to trade tokenized shares of the National Market System (NMS, for its English acronym) using authorized and innovative automated market makers and liquidity pools (collectively, ‘AMM Liquidity Funds’).”
The decision brings the possibility of operating shares 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and also helps facilitate the transfer and settlement of assets and their integration with financial services based on these networks.
