The SEC’s Crypto Task Force recently engaged with Nasdaq and DeFi startups to explore the tokenization of securities on public blockchains. Discussions centered on regulatory sandboxes, trading venues, and modernizing legacy rules for blockchain efficiency.

  • Nasdaq proposed a new 'ATS-Digital' venue for trading tokenized securities under existing registration rules.
  • Plume Network highlighted permissionless blockchains as ideal for real-world asset tokenization and sought DeFi-specific safe harbor relief.
  • Etherealize urged the SEC to modernize transfer agent rules by recognizing blockchains as authoritative share registers.
