Krypto: US-Börsenaufsicht ebnet Weg für Handel mit tokenisierten Aktien
Die SEC lockert ihre Regulierungen auf und erlaubt künftig tokenisierte Aktien auf Krypto-Plattformen. Damit dürfte sich der Handel mit Aktien zunehmend auf solche Plattformen verschieben.
The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has announced an expected exemption for trading tokenized securities on cryptocurrency platforms. The SEC grants a five-year waiver from many rules applicable to traditional exchanges such as Nasdaq or NYSE. Tokenized shares are digital tokens representing the value of an underlying stock or a bundle of shares.
They allow investors to speculate on a stock's price movement. Investors purchase the token instead of the traditional listed securities on the blockchain. The crypto sector hopes for a new surge in their products, as the SEC's concessions could make their trading processes more efficient. This may include the 24/7 trading typical for cryptocurrencies, immediate transaction processing, and the ability to slice equity shares.
Approval from the issuers is not required for this. Tokenized securities are a regulatory test of whether stock trading can move to crypto infrastructure outside the traditional regulatory framework. Platforms like Robinhood, Coinbase, and Webull stand to benefit from the development. Wall Street is already prepared for the changes in the market.
Tokenization of real assets was already one of the most important developments in the crypto sector last year.
