Key Takeaways
CryptoSlate reports the SEC opened a five-year exemption for tokenized US stocks to trade on blockchain venues.
According to CryptoSlate, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has launched a five-year Innovation Exemption enabling regulated US stocks to trade on permissioned blockchain-native venues. Reported by CryptoSlate, this regulatory action follows the Senate's failure to advance the CLARITY Act. SEC Chair Paul Atkins noted the agency is acting within its existing statutory authority to permit certain tokenized stocks on-chain, unlocking parts of the $77 trillion US stock market for crypto-style trading.
CryptoSlate highlights that tokenized equities have grown significantly offshore, reaching $3.2 billion in market value and generating $15.75 billion in monthly decentralized exchange volume. The new framework introduces Tokenized Securities Venues (TSVs), granting temporary relief from conventional exchange and dealer-registration rules while imposing symbol, volume, and transparency caps. Commissioners and firms like Robinhood, Coinbase, and Kraken noted that the move could help bring offshore tokenized equity activity onshore, allowing continuous trading beyond standard hours despite limitations such as thin off-hours liquidity and issuer vetoes.
