Global Regulators Demand Stronger Oversight of Tokenized Stocks

The rise of tokenized stocks is accelerating, prompting global regulators to call for increased oversight from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The World Federation of Exchanges (WFE) warns that these blockchain-based representations of company shares lack key shareholder protections like dividends or voting rights. While promising faster trading and lower costs, the WFE emphasizes the risk to market integrity if tokenized stocks are not properly regulated.
