What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The SEC mandated that venues relying on its temporary exemption for tokenized-stock trading must deploy public, auditable smart contracts on a public, permissionless ledger. The agency defines a permissionless ledger as one that allows reading and writing without prior authorization. The order also established a process for stock tokenized by a third party, requiring the venue to send written notice to the issuer and allowing a 30-calendar-day objection period.
