On June 5, Jamie Selway, Director of the SEC's Division of Trading and Markets, announced at the Piper Sandler Global Exchange & FinTech Conference that Chairman Paul Atkins has directed the division to accelerate the development of a framework for listing and trading tokenized securities. The guiding principle is to “foster innovation without creating regulatory arbitrage.” This move signals a shift from research to concrete action in creating a compliant pathway for tokenized securities to be traded on regulated venues.

Selway also disclosed that the SEC is working closely with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to coordinate policies and simultaneously evaluate multiple new product proposals, as well as areas within existing rules that lack clarity or compatibility. The aim is to establish a more consistent and certain regulatory environment for crypto assets and tokenized securities.
