SEC: 24/7 Tokenized Stocks Framework Advances

SEC Chair Paul Atkins is advancing a regulatory framework that opens tokenized U.S. stocks to 24/7 blockchain trading, including weekends, according to market sources. The move follows scheduled meetings this week with Trump, CFTC Chair Michael Selig, NYSE, CME, DTCC and major crypto firms. Tokenized U.S. stocks trading on blockchain rails could reshape settlement cycles and liquidity access for institutional desks.
