šŸ¦ SEC Grants Innovation Exemption for Tokenized Stocks

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has introduced a temporary, conditional ā€œInnovation Exemptionā€ for certain venues trading tokenized U.S. stocks onchain.

šŸ”¹ Tokenized stocks can be traded through permissioned automated market makers and liquidity pools.
šŸ”¹ Eligible tokenized shares must provide the same rights and privileges as the underlying stock.
šŸ”¹ Smart contracts must be auditable, public, and deployed on a public, permissionless blockchain.
šŸ”¹ The exemption is set to expire after five years and the SEC is seeking public comments.

Importantly, this framework concerns tokenized securities representing actual stocks; synthetic tokens that only track stock prices are not covered by this exemption.

🌐 Tokenization is bringing traditional securities further into blockchain-based market infrastructure.
