Wall Street is moving toward on-chain stock trading
Round-the-clock trading grows as US regulators open the door to tokenized equities in traditional markets. Last month, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) introduced an “innovation exemption” that allows qualifying venues to trade tokenized US-listed stocks on public blockchains.
SEC Commissioner Mark Ueda said participating venues must disclose transaction data in US dollars, including trade price, size, timestamp and daily trading volume. They must disclose the address and balance of the liquidity pool.
Unlike existing tokenized stock products such as xStocks and Ondo Global Market, which are generally unavailable to US investors, the SEC exemption allows qualified venues to offer tokenized US equities domestically, provided they preserve shareholder rights and meet trading and disclosure requirements.
