SEC Market Structure Proposal Draws Attention From Tokenized Stock Advocates

The SEC has proposed eliminating two key equity market structure rules, Regulation NMS Rules 611 and 610(e), which govern order routing and the display of quotes. While the proposal is aimed at simplifying traditional markets and reducing costs, it has drawn attention from advocates for tokenized stocks. The reason is that current rules, which require checking the best prices across venues, are difficult to reconcile with on-chain trading models like automated market makers (AMMs). A more flexible structure could theoretically make it easier to design compliant blockchain-based systems for trading tokenized equities. However, the proposal is not specifically about crypto, and tokenized stocks would still need to meet numerous other securities regulations. The change is now open for public comment and faces a lengthy process before any final adoption.
