Bloomberg: The SEC Chairman says the agency is considering implementing an innovation exemption policy to encourage the development of asset tokenization

ChainCatcher news, according to Bloomberg, after the U.S. House of Representatives passed a landmark stablecoin bill earlier on Thursday, SEC Chairman Paul Atkins stated that the SEC is considering implementing an innovative exemption policy to encourage the development of asset tokenization. In a press conference, he said, "SEC staff are considering what other changes need to be made within our regulatory framework to incentivize asset tokenization, including establishing an innovative exemption policy that allows for novel trading methods and introducing more precise exemption measures to promote the construction of other components of the tokenized securities ecosystem."

Atkins expressed appreciation for the passage of the stablecoin legislation and informed reporters that the SEC looks forward to "establishing clear rules" for the digital asset space. The bill has now been submitted to President Trump for signing.
