Market rumors point to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission preparing its largest tokenization exemption to date.
The reported policy would let selected firms test blockchain-based securities under defined conditions while permanent rules take shape. SEC Chair Paul Atkins proposed the measure.
Tokenized securities would trade only through registered transfer agents. ARK Invest has already filed for a case-by-case exemption to launch a tokenized share class in its $562 million venture fund.
If approved, ARK Invest would become the first large U.S. asset manager to offer such a product domestically. The exemption also covers broader tokenized fundraising with proposed caps of $5 million over four years and $75 million over twelve months.
Traditional market participants have raised questions about the SEC’s authority to grant these waivers. It remains unclear which firms will receive approval first or how the limits will be enforced in practice.
The outcome will determine whether U.S. issuers gain a clear domestic path for tokenized securities or continue to seek structures offshore.
