SEC Approves Rules for 24/7 Tokenized Stock Trading
What happened
The Securities and Exchange Commission approved a new rule granting a five-year temporary exemption to allow the trading of tokenized stocks around the globe. This Innovation Exemption allows certain trading platforms and liquidity providers to facilitate 24/7 tokenized stock trading, provided that holders of stock tokens retain the same rights as traditional equity holdings. The approval was announced on September 18, 2026, and investor optimism fueled a stock rally for crypto-heavy companies like BitMine Immersion.
