‘Wrong approach’ – Crypto lobby rejects Wall Street’s tighter DeFi rules for tokenized securities

The Blockchain Association (BA) has strongly opposed a proposal from Citadel Securities and traditional finance (SIFMA) calling for stricter regulation of DeFi protocols that handle tokenized securities. In a letter to the SEC, the BA argued that applying existing securities laws, which are designed for intermediaries, to neutral decentralized infrastructure is the "wrong approach." While affirming that tokenized securities are still securities, the BA emphasized that the SEC should consider how modern blockchain technology works before regulating, rather than automatically classifying DeFi infrastructure as exchanges or brokers. This pushback aligns with earlier criticism from the DeFi Education Fund (DEF). Citadel and SIFMA, however, maintain that all platforms handling tokenized securities must be under regulatory oversight to ensure a level playing field and investor protection, regardless of whether they are custodial or decentralized. The outcome hinges on the SEC's decision, which could potentially be challenged in court if it is not codified by the CLARITY Act.

Ironlight Group’s big $21 mln bet on tokenized securities: Worth the hype?

Ironlight Group has secured $21 million in funding from investors including former TD Bank CEO Greg Braca, the Sei Development Foundation, and Laidlaw Private Equity to scale its infrastructure for tokenized securities. The funds will support the development of Ironlight Markets ATS, a platform designed to connect issuance, distribution, and trading of regulated tokenized assets. Laidlaw's managing member emphasized that Ironlight is building critical infrastructure to enable institutional participation in this growing market. The tokenized securities sector is highly competitive, with major players like Securitize, Ondo Finance, and Robinhood already active. However, growth projections are significant: the market is expected to reach between $2 trillion and $11 trillion by 2030, up from the current $27 billion (excluding stablecoins). Tokenized stocks, the fifth-largest segment, recently hit a record $1.05 billion market cap with strong monthly transfer volume and nearly 200,000 holders. Ethereum leads in settlement volume for tokenized securities at nearly $400 million, followed by Solana and BNB Chain. As regulatory clarity improves and adoption accelerates, these blockchain networks may see increased demand. For investors, tracking top settlement layers could provide strategic exposure to the sector’s anticipated expansion.

SEC Chair Discloses What’s Next For Crypto Regulation At ETH Denver

SEC Chair Paul Atkins outlined the agency's upcoming crypto regulatory agenda at ETH Denver. Despite congressional delays on the CLARITY Act, the SEC is advancing its own initiatives through "Project Crypto," a joint effort with the CFTC. Key plans include a formal framework to determine when crypto assets are investment contracts, an "innovation exemption" for limited trading of tokenized securities, and new rules for crypto capital raising. The agency will also issue no-action letters and update custody rules for non-security crypto assets, including stablecoins. Atkins emphasized that the SEC's role is not to react to market downturns but to provide clear rules and disclosures for informed investor decisions.
