The SEC of the United States released a statement on securities tokenization.

According to BlockBeats news, on July 10, the U.S. SEC released a statement on the tokenization of securities, stating that blockchain technology has opened up new models for the issuance and trading of securities in the form of "tokenization." Tokenization has the potential to facilitate capital formation and enhance investors' ability to use their assets as Collateral. Attracted by these possibilities, an increasing number of emerging participants and traditional institutions are actively embracing on-chain products. However, despite the immense potential of blockchain technology, it does not possess the "magic" to change the nature of the underlying assets. Tokenized securities remain securities. Therefore, market participants must carefully consider and comply with the relevant provisions of federal securities laws when trading such instruments. Sometimes, issuers may tokenize their own securities. Investors purchasing such third-party tokens may face certain unique risks, such as counterparty risk. Issuers of tokenized securities must also consider their information disclosure obligations under federal securities law and can refer to the recent relevant staff statement issued by the SEC's Division of Corporation Finance. At the same time, those participating in the issuance, purchase, and trading of tokenized securities should also consider the attributes of these securities and the compliance issues raised by securities law. Although blockchain-based tokenization is an emerging technology, the act of "issuance of financial instruments representing rights in securities" is not novel. Whether issuing such instruments on-chain or off-chain, the applicable legal requirements are the same. Therefore, market participants should consider communicating with the SEC and its staff when designing their tokenization product plans, and we are willing to collaborate with market participants to establish reasonable exemption mechanisms and promote the modernization of rules.
