SEC Statement On Tokenized Securities - Division Of Corporation Finance, Division Of Investment Management, Division Of Trading And Markets

Date 28/01/2026

Introduction

As part of an effort to provide greater clarity on the application of the federal securities laws to crypto assets, the Division of Corporation Finance, Division of Investment Management, and Division of Trading and Markets are providing their views on the taxonomies associated with tokenized securities. A tokenized security is a financial instrument enumerated in the definition of “security” under the federal securities laws that is formatted as or represented by a crypto asset, where the record of ownership is maintained in whole or in part on or through one or more crypto networks. There are a variety of models used to tokenize securities and they vary in terms of structure and the rights afforded to holders. Tokenized securities generally fall into two categories: (1) securities tokenized by or on behalf of the issuers of such securities; and (2) securities tokenized by third parties unaffiliated with the issuers of such securities. This statement is intended to assist market participants as they seek to comply with the federal securities laws and prepare to submit any necessary registrations, proposals, or requests for appropriate action to the Commission or its staff. We stand ready to engage regarding any questions.
