SEC to Allow Tokenized Stocks on Blockchain The US SEC is set to release its "Innovation Exemption", letting crypto platforms trade tokenized US stocks onchain without full broker-dealer registration (reported, not yet official). Key points: → Part of Atkins' "Project Crypto" agenda → Follows Nasdaq & NYSE approvals → 12–36 month sandbox with caps & reporting → Tokens may lack voting/dividend rights Why it matters: 24/7 trading, faster settlement & fractional ownership, bridging Wall Street and crypto.
