The SEC clears the way for trading in crypto stocks on Wall Street

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has issued an exemption allowing the trading of tokenized shares for five years. This move enables the trading of shares based on blockchain technology, similar to that used for virtual currencies. The exemption, which came into effect immediately, requires trading platforms to meet registration and liquidity requirements.

The SEC's decision allows for the trading of tokenized shares in a controlled environment, with the possibility of future changes to regulations. The exemption was announced by SEC President Paul S. Atkins, who invited public comments on the innovation exemption.
