The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has pushed back its planned tokenization innovation exemption again, with no near-term release of details expected, according to crypto reporter Eleanor Terrett. People familiar with the matter said one possible reason is that tokenization language in Section 10505 of the CLARITY Act is still being negotiated among stakeholders. If the SEC were to move ahead through an "innovation exemption," it could disrupt the compromise being worked out around that section. Earlier, the SEC said a public meeting scheduled for today had been canceled because of a last-minute scheduling conflict and would be rescheduled for a later date. The latest delay leaves the agency’s tokenization-related relief path unresolved for now.
