The SEC has told registered investment advisers to prove their special purpose vehicles actually hold the promoted stakes or exposure. The agency has previously pursued similar cases and has warned that tokenisation does not itself guarantee ownership.

Heavy token use by coding agents could increase costs for providers even as revenues grow, raising questions about sustainability.
