Reuters: US SEC plans to allow stock tokenization trading, Paul Atkins: Companies can experiment with digital asset models

According to Reuters, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) plans to allow crypto companies to offer stock tokenization trading. SEC Chairman Paul Atkins stated that companies will be permitted to experiment with digital asset business models without being required to fully comply with existing disclosure and investor protection regulations. Castle Securities and SIFMA have expressed concerns, believing that these changes could divert liquidity and pose regulatory arbitrage risks. The U.S. SEC has not yet issued any public comments on this matter.
