SEC allows trading tokenized US stocks without exchange registration

  • —The SEC order is valid for five years and caps participants and trading volume
  • —Each token must grant the same rights as the traditional share
  • —Issuers can object to third-party tokens before a platform lists them
  • —Janus Henderson's largest tokenized fund holds just $0.5–1bn versus $30bn for its main ETF
Why it matters: The order sets a US precedent for equity tokenization; if the pilot works, Wall Street could move settlement and parts of its infrastructure on-chain.
