The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on September 17 announced an "innovation exemption" plan allowing tokenized stocks for the next five years. The move came two days after the U.S. Senate voted down the Clarity Act, legislation aimed at creating a broad supervisory framework for the cryptocurrency market.

The SEC's innovation exemption took effect immediately upon announcement. Tokenization refers to converting real-world assets such as stocks, cash, bonds and exchange-traded funds into digital tokens, recording ownership on a blockchain-based platform and then trading them.
