The Digital Asset Market Clarity Act passed the House in 2025 with wide bipartisan support but lost momentum in the Senate over jurisdictional splits between the SEC and CFTC. Rather than wait on legislation, the SEC under Chair Paul Atkins is reportedly exploring an administrative 'innovation exemption' that would let tokenized versions of public company stock trade under conditions set by the agency itself, not by new statute. That distinction matters: exemptive relief can move faster than a bill, but it's also easier to narrow or reverse.
SEC's Temporary Exemption for Tokenized Stocks: What It Actually Changes
Cointelegraph reported that the SEC granted a temporary exemption enabling tokenized trading of US stocks, a step that moves tokenized equities out of the purely offshore, workaround territory they've occupied for the past several years. The exemption is reported as temporary rather than a permanent rulemaking, which matters as much as the headline itself.
The SEC's Tokenized Stock Framework: What It Means for RWA Markets
CoinDesk reported on September 17, 2026 that the SEC is working through a framework that would let tokenized versions of US-listed stocks trade on blockchain rails within existing securities law rather than through a brand-new regime. If the reporting holds up in the SEC's actual rulemaking or guidance, tokenized equities would move from a niche, mostly non-US retail product into something broker-dealers and exchanges could offer inside the US regulatory perimeter.
Bitcoin ETFs Shed $450M in Biggest Outflow Since June
U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a combined $450 million net outflow in the most recent session, per Cointelegraph's reporting on daily creation-and-redemption data — the largest one-day drawdown since June. The move interrupts what had been a relatively steady inflow picture for the eleven listed funds and puts fresh scrutiny on how concentrated, and how fragile, institutional flow momentum has become.
