SIFMA Statement On SEC Innovation Exemption

Date 17/09/2026

SIFMA today issued the following statement from president and CEO Kenneth E. Bentsen, Jr. on the innovation exemption issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC):

“SIFMA strongly supports innovation in the securities markets and appreciates the SEC’s efforts to provide regulatory clarity for tokenized securities. While we are still reviewing the ‘innovation exemption’ that was released today, we are concerned about its impact on investor protection and market integrity and would emphasize the need to avoid unnecessary and potentially costly fragmentation in the listed securities market. The exemption could allow multiple tokenized versions of U.S.-listed securities to trade in parallel, lightly regulated markets, in ways that could lead to investor confusion and harm, as well as price and liquidity fragmentation. SIFMA has been clear that any innovation exemption should be narrowly drawn, open to all market participants, technology neutral, and subject to appropriate guardrails, including duration, customer, and transaction limits. While today’s order includes some of these guardrails, it is unclear if they are sufficiently robust to protect investors and market quality."
