SEC Seeks to Streamline Tokenized Securities Issuance

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is exploring ways to simplify regulations surrounding the issuance of tokenized securities, aiming to boost innovation in the crypto space. Commissioner Hester Peirce, a vocal supporter of digital asset regulation, has spearheaded this effort. She announced on May 8, 2025, that the SEC is actively considering exemptive orders for blockchain firms. These orders would potentially reduce registration hurdles for companies issuing, trading, and settling securities without as many legal barriers.
