SEC Greenlights Tokenized Stock Trading With 5-Year Innovation Exemption

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission granted a blanket five-year exemption for listing and trading tokenized securities on onchain venues without registering as a traditional exchange. The framework allows DeFi-style platforms, tokenization firms, and liquidity providers to operate under defined trading caps and transparency requirements.

This regulatory pathway marks a pivotal shift toward continuous 24/7 equity trading, aligning U.S. rules with crypto-native market infrastructure. #regulation #blockchain #marche
