stocks on public blockchains without registering as exchangesthough it excludes price-tracking synthetics and lets companies block tokenization of their shares.By Eleanor TerrettEdited by Guillermo JimenezSep 17, 2026Sep 17, 20263 min readSEC Chair Paul Atkins. This morning, the agency rolled out one of its most highly anticipated crypto initiatives: an exemption that will provide a compliant pathway for bringing tokenized U.S. equities onchain as tokenization gains momentum across traditional finance and crypto.
Earlier this week, Congress was unsuccessful in advancing the CLARITY Act despite the tireless efforts of many, SEC Chairman Paul Atkins said in a statement. So today, the Securities and Exchange Commission is taking a significant step forward, within its statutory authority, to bring Americas capital markets into the digital age by facilitating onchain trading of certain tokenized stocks through the Innovation Exemption. How it works: According to SEC officials, qualifying platforms, known as Tokenized Securities Venues, or TSVs, will be able to facilitate trading in tokenized versions of U.S.-listed stocks using automated market makers, or AMMs, and liquidity pools on public, permissionless blockchains without having to register as national securities exchanges. Certain firms supplying liquidity to those markets will also receive separate relief from dealer registration requirements.
