The SEC is set to release an innovation exemption for tokenized stocks that would allow trading of digital versions of securities, according to Bloomberg. The exemption would permit tokenized assets to be traded on decentralized crypto platforms. Officials described the step as a surprise move toward broader acceptance of tokenized assets.
Tokenized assets represent ownership rights in traditional securities through digital tokens. Activity in this area has grown in recent months. The exemption would mark one of the larger U.S. regulatory steps involving crypto infrastructure. Officials have not announced a specific release date for the exemption.
