The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is signaling support for streamlined disclosure rules and controlled experiments with equity tokenization, according to a new speech by Chair Paul S. Atkins at the agency\u2019s Investor Advisory Committee meeting<\/a>.<\/a>\u200b<\/p>\n Atkins focused first on cutting what he called unnecessary disclosure burdens, arguing for a \u201cminimum effective dose\u201d approach to regulation that keeps rules tightly centered on material information and adapts requirements to company size. He also proposed extending the JOBS Act \u201cIPO on\u2011ramp\u201d regime, giving small and mid-size firms a longer glide path with scaled reporting so that more issuers are willing to go public.<\/a>\u200b<\/p>\n Atkins sharply criticized the SEC\u2019s use of \u201ccomply or explain\u201d disclosure mandates in corporate governance, branding them a form of \u201cshaming regulation\u201d that effectively forces companies into preferred governance models by public pressure rather than law. In his view, decisions on board structure, ESG metrics, and related governance questions should remain in the hands of shareholders and directors, not be indirectly dictated through disclosure threats.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n On tokenization, Atkins took a more openly experimental stance, arguing that turning equity securities into digital tokens can improve settlement efficiency, reduce settlement risk, and strip out unnecessary intermediaries. He revealed that the SEC is considering an \u201cinnovative exemption mechanism\u201d to allow limited trading of specific tokenized securities, using tightly scoped pilots to build experience for a long-term regulatory framework.<\/a>\u200b<\/p>\n That approach would effectively let tokenized equity projects move forward under controlled conditions, rather than waiting for a full top\u2011down rule overhaul. For crypto markets, the message is clear: the SEC is not ready to rewrite securities law for tokenization, but it is prepared to grant targeted exemptions that could bring regulated, on\u2011chain equity settlement closer to reality.<\/p>\n <\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is signaling support for streamlined \u201cminimum effective dose\u201d disclosure rules and tightly scoped equity\u2011tokenization pilots via an innovation exemption, according to new remarks…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9970,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-23724","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cryptocurrency"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23724","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23724"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23724\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23725,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23724\/revisions\/23725"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9970"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23724"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23724"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23724"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}SEC chair pushes \u201cminimum effective dose\u201d regulation<\/h2>\n
