U.S. SEC Commissioner Mark Uyeda recently suggested that tokenizing securities could soon be a practical necessity for efficient markets. The Commissioner, however, notes that tokenization requires continued engagement with market participants and thoughtful evaluation of trade-offs among alternative approaches.

The Commission can approach these changes methodically by strengthening market infrastructure to ensure U.S. capital markets continue to serve both investors and the broader economy. Uyeda also emphasized that the Commission’s…
