According to PANews, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has granted permission to the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) to host and recognize tokenized stocks and other real-world assets (RWA) on a blockchain. This approval allows DTCC to offer tokenization services on a pre-approved blockchain for a three-year period. SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce stated that although the project is still in its pilot phase and subject to various operational constraints, it represents a significant step towards market migration onto the blockchain. Michael Winnike, DTCC's Global Head of Strategy and Market Solutions for Clearing and Securities Services, mentioned in an interview that following the approval, DTCC plans to extend its record-keeping operations to the blockchain. DTCC plays a crucial role in the U.S. financial system as a central clearing and settlement hub for stocks and fixed income products. Many liquid assets in the U.S. market are stored in DTCC's custody division, the Depository Trust Co. The company anticipates launching its new tokenization services in the latter half of next year.

According to ChainCatcher, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is retracting outdated and overly complex guidelines related to digital asset delivery. Acting Chair Caroline Pham announced that the agency will withdraw the 2020 guidance under the Dodd-Frank Act, a federal law enacted in 2010 to address the 2008 financial crisis. The guidance focused on the 'actual delivery' of digital assets. Pham stated that this move is part of recommendations from the President's Working Group on Financial Markets report on digital assets. This summer, the White House released an extensive report on cryptocurrency, addressing issues such as illicit finance and taxation, and suggested granting the CFTC authority to regulate digital assets. 'Today's announcement demonstrates that decisive action can make tangible progress in facilitating Americans' access to safe U.S. markets, thereby protecting their interests,' Pham said on Thursday.
