U.S. SEC delays plan to allow tokenised stock trading amid unauthorised issuance, shareholder rights verification issues
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has delayed releasing a proposal for an \'innovation exemption\' that would allow tokenised stocks to trade on crypto-based platforms. Concerns include the risk of third parties issuing stock-linked tokens without listed companies\' consent and challenges in verifying token holders and their eligibility to exercise shareholder rights. The SEC has gathered feedback from hundreds of market participants and is adjusting details rather than reversing direction.

Wall Street\'s tokenisation boom faces liquidity shortfall, Axis CEO says
The on-chain real-world asset (RWA) market has surpassed $32 billion for the first time, but the industry needs liquidity infrastructure to support actual trading rather than more issuance, Axis founder and CEO Chris Kim (크리스 김) said. He said Wall Street’s tokenisation push is focused on issuance, while tradability will determine the market’s future value. Liquidity varies by asset, and fragmentation across blockchains also hampers trading.
