SEC targets 20-year-old rule standing between Wall Street and blockchain trading

SEC’s plan to scrap a two-decade-old rule could give tokenized equities a clearer path into regulated US markets.

  • The SEC is proposing to rescind Rule 611 (trade-through rule) and Rule 610(e), which could significantly ease the path for tokenized equities to trade on regulated US markets.
  • This change is seen as a major unlock for DeFi and tokenized assets, as the current rules are difficult for AMMs to comply with, but further regulatory hurdles like registration and settlement remain.
  • While the proposal aims to foster innovation and simplify market structure, concerns exist about potential market fragmentation and ensuring investor protection and fair pricing.
