SEC Tokenization Exemption Raises Questions Over Ethereum's Status

  • —SEC requires tokenization platforms to be public and permissionless
  • —Ethereum L2s face scrutiny over whether they meet the criteria
  • —Companies object to their shares being tokenized without consent
  • —SEC and CFTC are taking a larger role in crypto regulation
Why it matters: How the SEC defines a public and permissionless blockchain will determine whether Ethereum and its L2s can host tokenized assets in the US.
