SEC Grants Exemption for Tokenized Securities Using Automated Market Makers
What happened
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission issued a temporary, conditional exemption allowing qualifying Tokenized Securities Venues to trade tokenized National Market System stocks through permissioned Automated Market Makers and liquidity pools. A companion exemption also covers liquidity providers, temporarily relieving them from the “dealer” classification under the Exchange Act.

Why it matters
The regulatory order acknowledges that AMM liquidity pools can function as a legitimate component of a controlled, on-chain securities-trading structure, provided the venue operates within a permissioned environment. This framework is technology-neutral and is part of broader policy consideration as tokenized stocks intensify competition with traditional brokerages.
Tokenized stocks are intensifying competition with traditional brokerages, prompting the SEC to consider new policies regarding the market structure.
