- Tokenization-related stocks and DeFi tokens fell broadly after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission delayed the rollout of its innovation exemption and canceled a meeting on crypto-related regulatory proposals.
- Shares of tokenization- and crypto-related companies including Bullish, Figure Markets (FIGR), Coinbase, and Circle, along with DeFi tokens such as Uniswap (UNI), fell sharply, with UNI posting the biggest drop in the crypto market.
- Experts said the policy delay reflects pushback from the White House and traditional financial firms, but the core drivers of tokenization and the buildout of 24-hour tokenized trading infrastructure remain intact.

Tokenization-related stocks and decentralized finance tokens fell broadly after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission again delayed the rollout of its closely watched innovation exemption.
CoinDesk reported on August 15 that the SEC delayed applying the proposed exemption, which is intended to simplify the issuance and trading of tokenized securities. The agency also abruptly canceled a meeting on crypto-related regulatory proposals that had been scheduled for Friday.
The setback sent related shares lower. Bullish sank about 8% in early trading, while blockchain-based lender Figure Markets (FIGR) dropped about 9%, giving back the previous day’s gains. Coinbase, which is seeking to enter the tokenized stock market, and Circle, which operates tokenized Treasury products, also fell about 2% and 4%, respectively.
