- SEC Chair Paul Atkins is pushing an innovation exemption for tokenized listed securities.
- Bloomberg and others report the framework could enable continuous on-chain trading of stock tokens.
- Details may come as soon as this week or shortly after recent Commission meetings.
- Tokenized versions of big names like Apple or Nvidia could trade nights, weekends and holidays.
- Traditional U.S. stock markets still close after regular hours; this bypasses that limit for digital versions.
- Crypto platforms including Coinbase have been waiting for clearer rules to launch these products in the U.S.
- Settlement could happen much faster than the current T+1 system.
- The exemption is temporary and limited while longer-term rules are written.
- NYSE and Nasdaq are already building their own tokenized platforms that support longer or continuous trading.
