SEC Proposes Updating Securities Transfer Agent Rules to Include Blockchain-Based Securities Issuance and Share Transfers

the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on September 1 proposed the first major update to securities transfer agent rules since the late 1970s, aiming to adapt to the shift from paper records to electronic data.SEC Chairman Paul Atkins said the rules should reflect how securities transfer agents actually operate today and in the future, including the use of blockchain technology in securities issuance and share transfers.Securities transfer agents are responsible for maintaining official records of securities ownership, processing transfers and restrictive legends, and collaborating with the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) as part of the national clearing and settlement system.

U.S. SEC Chair: Advancing 24-Hour U.S. Stock Trading; Tokenization May Facilitate Real-Time Inventory Management

US SEC Chair Paul S. Atkins released remarks from a roundtable meeting, noting that the SEC is advancing preparations to expand 24-hour trading for the U.S. stock market. Extending trading hours is expected to enable investors to respond more swiftly to market events, broaden global market participation, and enhance liquidity. Mr. Atkins pointed out that the DTCC has already deployed its 23x5 trade capture system to support clearing and settlement. The industry has also established overnight price ranges and risk control requirements for relevant trading centers. The Security Information Processor (SIP) is currently preparing for overnight price dissemination, while tokenization is anticipated to help the securities industry achieve real-time inventory management, improve efficiency, reduce settlement failures, and lower naked short selling risks.

Bitwise CIO Revises Clarity Act Outlook: Crypto Bull Run May Not Require Legislative Support

According to The Block, Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan has revised his previous assessment regarding the impact of the Clarity Act's failure. The bill secured only 49 votes in a procedural Senate vote, falling short of the 60-vote threshold needed to advance. While Hougan had previously forecasted that a failed bill would trigger several weeks of crypto market weakness, he noted in his latest client report that Bitcoin has continued to rise after bottoming out around $57,950 on July 1, surpassing $80,000 on September 4. In the same period, Polymarket’s implied probability for the bill’s passage within the year dropped from 39% to 14%. Price action moving contrary to these expectations suggests that the bull market does not rely on legislative passage. Hougan also pointed out that initiatives such as Robinhood launching its own blockchain, Morgan Stanley listing a Solana ETF, and DTCC completing the settlement of the first batch of tokenized stocks demonstrate that Wall Street institutions are already positioning themselves ahead of regulatory clarity. He noted that proactive rulemaking by the SEC and CFTC can partially fill legislative gaps, but acknowledged that executive regulations carry the risk of being overturned by future administrations. Consequently, congressional legislation remains the sole path to providing lasting regulatory certainty.

Uniswap Founder Hayden: Correlated Trading Pairs Will Drive AMMs into Global Financial Markets

Odaily News Uniswap founder Hayden said on X that correlated trading pairs are emerging. The top five tokenized SPY trading pairs by volume are "bridge" pairs connecting other common base pairs, which then primarily link to highly correlated tokenized stocks. These markets are global, programmable, low-cost, and operate 24/7.Uniswap founder Hayden said on X:.I've been working at the frontier of DeFi for 9 years. It's a fascinating field with infinite depth and the potential to transform capital markets.I've always believed AMMs hold immense potential, but for the past decade, one question has persisted: Can this novel market structure truly become the core engine for all financial markets?After years of evolution and development, the path for AMMs to achieve global dominance is becoming increasingly clear. To explain this, we need to start in 1976.Tokenization Changes Market Makers.Index funds celebrated their 50th anniversary this month. When Jack Bogle launched the index fund in 1976, he hoped to raise $150 million but ultimately raised only $11.3 million. Competitors called it "Bogle's Folly," posting posters claiming index funds were un-American. They argued that a fund making no decisions couldn't possibly beat professionals paid to make decisions. Today, the majority of US fund assets are allocated to passive investment vehicles.I've been thinking about this recently because tokenization's "folly moment" is ending. The SEC has approved NASDAQ and the NYSE to trade tokenized stocks. DTCC, which handles virtually all US securities settlement, also conducted a live pilot of tokenized trades in July. Nearly all related activity is described the same way: treating tokenization as an infrastructure upgrade.The same markets, faster, cheaper, and always open. These statements are all true, but I believe the infrastructure upgrade framework obscures a larger change. Tokenization makes markets programmable, changing how markets exist, who makes markets, and what is traded.In 2018, I created Uniswap, an automated market maker protocol. Anyone can deposit two assets into a shared liquidity pool and earn fees from every trade, while prices adjust along a curve as users buy and sell. Uniswap has operated autonomously since its launch, processing over $4.6 trillion in cumulative volume and increasing DEX spot volume share from under 1% to over 20%.As AMMs like Uniswap continue to evolve, their liquidity has formed a pattern most financial markets haven't noticed yet: correlated trading pairs.The Easiest Place to Find Success.To succeed everywhere, you must first succeed somewhere. AMMs found product-market fit in long-tail markets because most assets previously couldn't attract professional market makers' attention. On Uniswap, anyone can create a market with a single transaction, and issuers and early supporters can become the first liquidity providers.Then came stablecoin pairs. Take USDC/USDT, for example. A good passive strategy can approach optimal l

The on-chain tokenized asset market is expected to reach $4 trillion by the end of 2028, while Standard Chartered projects Chainlink will hit $200 by the end of 2030

Odaily News: Standard Chartered initiated coverage on Monday of blockchain oracle project Chainlink, projecting LINK to reach $200 by the end of 2030 — roughly 25 times its current price of around $8. The bank's phased targets are $13 by the end of this year, followed by $41, $82, and $133. Standard Chartered estimates that the on-chain tokenized asset market will reach $4 trillion by the end of 2028, with DeFi-deployed assets hitting $2.7 trillion by 2030 — a 37-fold increase from current levels. The bank expects Chainlink fees to grow approximately 25-fold over the same period, assuming token prices track fee growth. Chainlink secures over $110 billion in total value, covering approximately 70% of the value that global DeFi relies on from oracles, with a share exceeding 80% on Ethereum; Aave V3 accounts for 44% of that. Swift, DTCC, Euroclear, JPMorgan, Mastercard, UBS, Fidelity, and S&P Global are all listed as institutions using its services. Chainlink still lags behind LayerZero in cross-chain interoperability. Following the $292 million attack in April, over $7 billion in token value has migrated to Chainlink CCIP, with second-quarter transaction volume reaching $4.9 billion — up 353% year-over-year. Risks include slowing institutional tokenization, pilots not converting to production processes, and technical failures impacting confidence. (Decrypt)

Bullish executive urges passage of the CLARITY Act: The FTX incident proves the crypto market needs a legal regulatory framework

According to Odaily, Randi Abernethy, Head of Clearing and Group Risk at Bullish, stated that the U.S. Senate's failure to pass the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (CLARITY Act) does not mean the digital asset market will stop developing; rather, it highlights the necessity of establishing a federal regulatory framework.Abernethy noted that during the Senate's consideration of the CLARITY Act, traditional U.S. financial institutions have continued to accelerate their entry into the on-chain market. JPMorgan Chase has explored tokenized ETF holdings through a production pilot with the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC), and more than 50 institutions (including BlackRock and Goldman Sachs) are also participating in the development of tokenized stock and Treasury bond infrastructure. The current regulatory discussion is no longer just a "crypto industry issue," but one that concerns the future infrastructure of the entire financial system.Abernethy cited the 2008 financial crisis as an example, noting that financial risk spreads along shared infrastructure, and even institutions not directly involved in related assets can be affected. Today, the stablecoin market size has exceeded $100 billion, with a large portion of stablecoin reserves invested in U.S. Treasuries. If a major stablecoin were to face a crisis, it could impact liquidity in traditional financial markets. She stated that supporters of the CLARITY Act believe the bill could establish a unified regulatory framework for the digital asset market, including core investor protection mechanisms such as customer asset segregation, conflict of interest management, capital requirements, and information disclosure.
