The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has issued new guidance on tokenized securities, clarifying that whether a security is regulated depends on its legal nature, not on whether it is tokenized. Tokenization itself does not change the scope of securities laws. The statement further distinguishes between issuer-sponsored tokenized securities and third-party tokenized securities, and covers different structures such as custody and synthetic models, aiming to provide clearer regulatory guidance for market participants to conduct related business within a compliant framework.
