US SEC Commissioner: Security tokenization is moving from concept to practical application, and no regulatory obstacles should be placed on it.

According to Foresight News , U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Commissioner Mark T. Uyeda stated that security tokenization is moving from concept to practical application, and the SEC should not impose unnecessary regulatory obstacles. During the Trump administration, the SEC shifted from enforcement as its primary regulatory approach to promoting innovation through guidance, public consultation, and exemption pilots. This involved exploring the compliant implementation of on-chain securities and RWAs while ensuring investor protection. Uyeda emphasized that tokenization has the potential to reduce intermediaries, shorten settlement cycles, and improve transparency, but tokenized securities must still comply with the existing securities laws framework.
