[SEC Chairman Atkins: Innovation Exemption to Provide Temporary Regulatory Path for On-Chain Trading of Tokenized Stocks] According to the latest statement from U.S. SEC Chairman Paul S. Atkins, the SEC has approved an 'Innovation Exemption' under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, temporarily allowing eligible Tokenized Securities Venues (TSV) to conduct partial tokenized NMS stock trading and granting 'dealer' definition exemptions to specific liquidity providers. The related tokens must retain the same rights as traditional securities, such as dividends and voting rights, and issuers may oppose their stocks being traded on TSV.
