SEC Stock-Token Exemption Will Likely Let Companies Opt Out, Securitize’s Brett Redfearn Says

The Securitize president, who ran the SEC's trading and markets division, expects public companies to get a window to object before third parties tokenize their shares.

  • Securitize president Brett Redfearn anticipates the SEC's stock-token exemption will allow public companies an opt-out period before their shares can be tokenized by third parties.
  • This proposed 'issuer opt-out' mechanism has faced pushback, with groups like the Securities Transfer Association advocating for issuer-sponsored tokens, while Robinhood argues against such veto power.
  • Redfearn also expects that if Robinhood brings its stock token offering to the U.S., the SEC will mandate full security entitlements, including voting rights and dividends.
