The SEC Delays Approval of Plan for "Tokenization of Stocks" Trading

BlockBeats News, May 23. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has delayed a plan to launch a "Tokenized Stock Offering" that was originally designed to promote the tokenization of U.S. stocks.

The so-called "Tokenized Stocks" usually refer to tokenized stock products issued on the blockchain, pegged to the real price of U.S. stocks. These products enable on-chain trading, 24/7 settlement, and lower barriers to global circulation.

This delay by the SEC means that such products are still facing challenges in being officially launched in the short term. U.S. regulators remain cautious about security tokenization, investor protection, and market structure issues.
