What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

The Securities and Exchange Commission issued an Innovation Exemption order concerning tokenized stocks, allowing certain venues and liquidity providers a five-year path to trade digital representations of U.S. stocks. This move occurred shortly after the Senate blocked the Clarity Act, which would have established a regulatory framework for cryptocurrency. The tokens must carry the same rights as the underlying shares, including dividends and voting, and issuers have 30 days to object to the tokenization.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The SEC order allows for a type of 24/7 trading that proponents argue reduces counterparty risk through faster settlement. The order demonstrates the SEC's willingness to set rules that could advance crypto-related offerings without immediate legislative buy-in. For Coinbase, the company is also allowing eligible U.S. individual investors to request IPO allocations through its app.

The Senate vote was determining the fate of the Clarity Act, which was intended to provide a regulatory framework for the industry.
