‘Unlock for tokenization? ’- OCC clarifies capital rules for tokenized securities
U.S. banking regulators, including the OCC, Federal Reserve, and FDIC, have jointly clarified that tokenized securities will receive the same capital treatment as traditional securities, emphasizing a technology-neutral approach. This means tokenized stocks can serve as collateral if they meet bank criteria. Industry leaders hailed the move as a significant unlock for tokenization, laying groundwork for on-chain capital markets. Adoption has surged, with a 47% increase in holders to 184k in early 2026 and market cap exceeding $1 billion. However, aspects like settlement and custody rules remain unresolved, and tokenized securities remain a point of contention in broader crypto legislation.
