The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has further postponed its anticipated "innovation exemption," which aimed to accelerate tokenized securities trading. This decision follows concerns from the White House regarding potential complications for broader crypto legislation and from Wall Street, particularly the SIFMA trade group, about how blockchain-based trading venues would integrate with existing equity-market rules like best execution obligations. The SEC had previously delayed the exemption in May and was expected to share details at a now-canceled Friday meeting for its "Reg Crypto" rulemaking. The delay occurs as tokenization gains traction, with analysts projecting a $5.5 trillion market by 2030.
