According to the acting SEC chair, this framework would allow both registered and unregistered exchanges offering tokenized securities.

During a time when major coins have taken hard hits and some remain well down—Ethereum is down 13% on the week—why is Fartcoin resonating with traders? There may be comfort in nonsense,…
[ad_1] The SEC’s leadership suggested Friday it would be open to establishing a so-called regulatory sandbox for digital assets that would allow crypto exchanges to freely experiment in novel sectors—including, potentially, offering the trade of tokenized securities. Tokenized securities are versions of traditional securities offerings, like stocks and bonds, that are issued as fungible assets on blockchain networks.

[ad_1] Twitter founder Jack Dorsey recently said that the Bitcoin community should focus on scaling payments in order to remain relevant. “I think it has to be payments for [Bitcoin] to be relevant on the everyday,” he told Haley Berkoe on the 21 in 21 podcast. I disagree. As someone in the trenches with Bitcoin builders, who also talks to market-makers and investors, I fundamentally disagree with the idea that payments are the path forward for actual Bitcoin adoption. The only way to grow Bitcoin’s relevance is by creating more functionality for everyday users to do something with their bitcoin…
