The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is weighing a potential “innovation exemption” to accelerate the adoption of tokenized assets, signaling a possible shift in how the agency approaches blockchain-based financial infrastructure.

SEC Chairman Paul Atkins revealed the move on Thursday, highlighting the commission’s intent to support emerging digital markets without compromising regulatory standards.

SEC weighing innovation exemption from regulations to incentivize tokenization…

His latest remarks confirm that the SEC is now taking concrete steps to enable blockchain innovation, including infrastructure tailored for tokenized markets all while maintaining core principles of market integrity.
