Instead of traditional securities accounts, you would hold a blockchain-based token tied to the underlying equity, which can be fractionalized and used as collateral in DeFi lending like AAVE and MORPHO.<\/p>\n<p>In January 2026, the SEC identified two types of tokens: issuer-sponsored tokens generated by companies, and third-party tokens that merely track stock prices without company involvement.<\/p>\n<p>The SEC is moving toward allowing third-party tokens that may not grant voting rights or dividends, potentially classifying them as security-based swaps subject to strict regulations that limit retail investor access.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, tokenized stocks represent about $1.45Bn, or 4.3% of the real-world asset (RWA) market, compared to tokenized US Treasuries at 46%. If the SEC\u2019s proposed framework is adopted, it could significantly increase the market share for tokenized stocks by creating a legal avenue for regulated platforms.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-347071 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Screenshot-2026-05-19-at-11.31.43-scaled.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1466\" srcset=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Screenshot-2026-05-19-at-11.31.43-scaled.png 2560w, https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Screenshot-2026-05-19-at-11.31.43-300x172.png 300w, https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Screenshot-2026-05-19-at-11.31.43-1024x587.png 1024w, https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Screenshot-2026-05-19-at-11.31.43-768x440.png 768w, https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Screenshot-2026-05-19-at-11.31.43-1536x880.png 1536w, https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Screenshot-2026-05-19-at-11.31.43-2048x1173.png 2048w, https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Screenshot-2026-05-19-at-11.31.43-50x29.png 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\"><\/p>\n<p>(<a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.coingecko.com\/en\/categories\/real-world-assets-rwa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">SOURCE: CoinGecko<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p><strong>DISCOVER:<a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/bs_3009e3ec.jeweltype.care\/?referrer=https%3A%2F%2F99bitcoins.com%2Fnews%2Fpresales%2Fxlm-price-breakout-analysis%2F&amp;transfer=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">\u00a099Bitcoin\u2019s Readers \u2013 Earn $10 USDC When You Sign Up for Binance<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>What This Actually Means for Crypto Platforms and Why Institutional Crypto Is Pushing Hard<\/h2>\n<p>The key story here is the lobbying efforts by institutional crypto players and asset managers who have shown that on-chain demand is significant. Projects like <a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/app.rwa.xyz\/assets\/BUIDL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">BlackRock\u2019s BUIDL fund<\/a> and Franklin Templeton\u2019s tokenized money market fund demonstrate that institutional capital is ready to move on-chain, provided the right regulatory framework is in place. Tokenized equities are the next logical step, allowing fractional ownership for investors who can\u2019t afford high-priced stocks.<\/p>\n<p>While 24\/7 trading seems advantageous, it lacks protections found in traditional markets, like circuit breakers that pause trading during rapid downturns. This could lead to significant volatility, as there are no safeguards in place for assets traded over the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>The likes of ONDO,\u00a0CFG, PENDLE, and HYPE could benefit from this shift, as could lending markets that accept tokenized collateral. The Nasdaq has SEC approval for tokenized settlements within traditional infrastructure, but upcoming regulations could also enable tokenized equity trading on decentralized platforms.<\/p>\n<p>This potential shift is bolstered by the CLARITY Act, which reflects a Congressional desire for the US to take the lead in digital asset infrastructure. However, the offshore issue remains unresolved. The SEC crypto 2026 guidance targets overseas platforms selling synthetic US equity tokens to American investors, putting existing unauthorized products on non-US exchanges at risk.<\/p>\n<p><strong>EXPLORE:\u00a0<a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/best-crypto-presales\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Best Crypto Presales Gaining Traction Right Now<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Follow 99Bitcoins on\u00a0<a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/99bitcoins\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">X<\/a>,\u00a0<a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/99bitcoins\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">YouTube<\/a>, and\u00a0<a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/s\/bitcoinnews99\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Telegram<\/a>\u00a0for more crypto news and analysis.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/news\/bitcoin-btc\/sec-crypto-tokenized-stocks-framework-apple-tesla-crypto\/\">SEC Crypto News: Green Light for Tokenized Stocks on Crypto Platforms<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/\">99Bitcoins<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The SEC is finalizing this week an \u201cinnovation exemption\u201d framework that would allow regulated crypto platforms to list tokenized versions of stocks like Apple and Tesla, trading 24 hours a day, seven days a week, without ever touching the New York Stock Exchange.
