SEC Considers Exemption for DLT-Based Securities Trading

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is exploring a potential registration exemption for companies utilizing distributed ledger technology (DLT) to issue, trade, and settle securities. This initiative aims to facilitate the adoption of innovative trading systems for eligible tokenized securities by bypassing certain SEC registration requirements. However, this exemption will be accompanied by strict guidelines to ensure market integrity and prevent fraud and manipulation.
