SEC may let companies opt out of tokenized shares

  • —Redfearn: SEC exemption will work as an opt-out for issuers
  • —A company would have about 30 days to approve or reject tokenization
  • —The SEC delayed publication of the exemption in May and August 2026
  • —Robinhood opposes issuers' veto right over stock tokenization
Why it matters: The rules will determine whether companies can block third-party issuance of tokenized shares, affecting the $3+ billion stock tokenization market.
