SEC OPENS A NEW DOOR FOR TOKENIZED STOCKS

The U.S. SEC has introduced a temporary 5-year “Innovation Exemption” for certain venues trading tokenized U.S. stocks on-chain. 🔥

🏦 What does this mean?

• Certain Tokenized Securities Venues (TSVs) can trade tokenized U.S. stocks under specific conditions without being treated as traditional exchanges under the exemption.

• Tokenized stocks must provide holders with the same rights and privileges as the underlying stock, including dividends and voting rights. 📈

• Synthetic stock-price tokens are excluded from this framework. ⚠️

• Companies can receive notice and have an opportunity to object to third-party tokenization of their shares.

• The framework uses permissioned AMM liquidity pools, while smart contracts must be auditable and deployed on a public, permissionless blockchain. 🔗

This could be an important development for RWA (Real-World Assets) and on-chain capital markets.

The big question now is:
How quickly will tokenized stocks become a major part of on-chain markets? 👀
