SEC Commissioner Clarifies Stance on Tokenized NMS Stocks

U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Commissioner Hester Peirce recently addressed the topic of tokenized NMS stocks on social media. According to Foresight News, Peirce expressed gratitude for the interest in on-chain trading of tokenized NMS stocks but disagreed with exaggerated descriptions. She emphasized that the exemption is expected to be limited, applying only to digital representations of actual underlying equity securities that investors can purchase in the secondary market, rather than synthetic assets.
