According to The Block, the SEC could issue a conditional innovation exemption for tokenized securities as early as this week, allowing traditional financial institutions to experiment with blockchain-based trading without full registration. The agency has already approved Nasdaq in March and the NYSE in April to develop tokenized share trading platforms, and authorized DTCC to tokenize certain liquid assets on pre-approved blockchains in December. Tokenized securities offer 24/7 trading, lower costs, and near-instant settlement. The SEC maintains such assets remain securities under federal law. Analysts project tokenized assets could reach $2 trillion to more than $10 trillion by 2030.
