SEC's Tokenized Stocks Test Shifts to Market Structure, Not Novelty

  • —SEC's September 17 exemption opens a time-limited route for on-chain trading of NMS stocks
  • —Settlement, liquidity and control matter more than the novelty of tokenization
  • —Fragmentation risk: the same exposure on incompatible networks splits liquidity
  • —On-chain custody adds key management and smart-contract error risk
Why it matters: If the tests succeed, tokenized equities could become regulated market infrastructure rather than a demonstration product.
