SEC Innovation Exemption Opens Path to Onchain Trading of Listed Stock, Subject to Issuer Objection

SEC’s Innovation Exemption opens a path to onchain trading of listed stock, and issuers have 30 days to object. Learn what to do now.

  • The SEC's Innovation Exemption allows for onchain secondary trading of listed stocks via Tokenized Securities Venues (TSVs), with issuers having a 30-day opt-out right.
  • This exemption provides temporary relief from 'exchange' and 'dealer' definitions, but issuers must actively object to prevent third-party tokenization of their stock.
  • Companies are advised to prepare for this new framework by establishing notice routing and deciding on their objection strategy, as the SEC moves towards digitalizing capital markets.
