Two Days After CLARITY Died, the SEC Opened On-Chain Stock Trading
SEC Chair Paul Atkins announced a temporary "innovation exemption" permitting compliant venues to trade tokenised US equities on-chain — real custodied stocks, not synthetics — with coverage citing a five-year window, per the FT, Bloomberg and The Block. Commissioner Peirce drew an explicit boundary between the exemption and DeFi broadly. Bloomberg framed the move as the agency's answer to the CLARITY Act's failure two days earlier. The NYSE separately announced plans for 24/7 on-chain tokenised equity trading, which Atkins publicly backed.
