Initial Filing
Nasdaq files a proposal with the SEC to amend rules for tokenized trading on its main market.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has approved a landmark proposal by Nasdaq to allow certain stocks and exchange-traded products to be traded and settled in tokenized form. This decision marks a significant integration of blockchain technology into mainstream equity markets, initially targeting high-volume securities within the Russell 1000 Index and major benchmark ETFs.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has issued an order exempting directors and officers of Foreign Private Issuers from certain jurisdictions from new Section 16(a) reporting requirements. This relief applies to individuals in jurisdictions with substantially similar insider reporting frameworks, including the UK, Canada, and the European Economic Area.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has granted WisdomTree a first-of-its-kind exemption to allow intraday trading of its tokenized Treasury Money Market Digital Fund. This regulatory pivot bypasses traditional end-of-day mutual fund pricing, signaling a major shift toward blockchain-enabled capital markets.
