The US Securities and Exchange Commission has introduced a temporary and conditional Innovation Exemption. This regulatory framework permits specific Tokenized Securities Venues to conduct limited trading of tokenized NMS stocks on blockchain networks.

Commissioner Mark Uyeda announced the decision on September 17, 2026. The initiative aims to explore how tokenization can modernize the existing infrastructure of securities markets, specifically regarding issuance, settlement, and ownership records.
