Ondo Finance Urges SEC to Pause Nasdaq Tokenized Securities Plan: RWA and ONDO Trading Impact

According to the source, Ondo Finance urged the U.S. SEC to slow or pause Nasdaq’s tokenized securities plan, calling the proposal too secretive and tilted toward large Wall Street firms, per the source. For traders, this flags regulatory headwinds that could delay U.S. exchange-listed tokenized assets and near-term liquidity, affecting RWA sector sentiment and ONDO exposure, according to the source and the SEC’s gatekeeper role in market structure approvals.

Until the SEC clarifies next steps, positioning may favor existing tokenization venues outside U.S. exchange frameworks, a defensive stance consistent with the source’s caution and the SEC’s procedural pace.
