SEC proposes modernized transfer agent rules with blockchain provisions
The US Securities and Exchange Commission proposed a broad update to transfer agent rules unchanged since the 1980s, explicitly addressing blockchain-based recordkeeping, tokenized securities, and automated market infrastructure. The SEC also announced a roundtable on 24-hour US trading.
Why it matters for the crypto market
This signals regulatory clarity for on-chain securities settlement and modernizes decades-old rules to accommodate tokenized assets, removing a structural barrier to institutional adoption of blockchain-based trading.
