The U.S. SEC advisory group supports advancing tokenized securities and outlines security safeguards.

CoinFeed reported on March 13th, citing CoinDesk, that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's Investor Advisory Committee voted to approve recommendations supporting regulatory policies for tokenized securities, allowing stock trading to bypass the decades-old intermediary settlement model relied upon by Wall Street investment firms. The committee recommended limited exemptions for blockchain stock trading, contingent on mandatory disclosure, regular external oversight, and ensuring all investors receive the best possible terms in order execution. The SEC chairman stated that these crypto assets still legally qualify as securities and therefore require the same safeguards as the traditional system. The committee noted that the greatest risk of tokenized securities is that new reforms or exemptions could introduce new risks unknown to investors and incur costs higher than the tokenization gains.
