U.S. SEC Commissioner Mark T. Uyeda commented on securities tokenization, stating that SEC rules should not create "unnecessary obstacles" to technological evolution. Speaking at an asset management derivatives forum, Uyeda pointed out that tokenization has moved from theoretical exploration to early practical application, with market participants testing how traditional securities can be issued, held, and transferred on-chain. He emphasized that tokenized securities remain under securities regulations, and technological advancements have not altered core legal obligations such as information disclosure, asset custody, and investor protection. Uyeda stated that the SEC's role is not to create a parallel set of rules for crypto-native assets, but rather to adapt existing securities laws to the on-chain environment without causing unnecessary friction. He reiterated the SEC's commitment to "technology neutrality," focusing on regulatory outcomes rather than specific procedures. Uyeda specifically mentioned that the SEC recently received an exemption application based on the Investment Company Act, indicating that tokenization "is no longer just theoretical speculation, but is becoming a reality."
